16B volume control potentiometer
#1

I'm sure this has come up before but I can't find it anywhere, I'm looking for a replacement volume pot for my 16B, part # 33-5013 any info on what new pot to get would be helpful.  I'm finding conflicting info on values. Thanks.

I suggest you try Mark Oppat at: http://www.oldradioparts.net

He has a huge selection of controls and will know the right one to use.

Okay as far as I can tell the 16's started out with a 350,000 ohm pot with a tap at 30,000. that was changed at one time to a 2m with an unspecified tap. Nothing at radio daze list a tap and antique radio supply looks like all guitar stuff.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Do you have 350K or 2M part? There were changes. I got mine from Mark.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

According to the 1946 IRC Volume Control Replacement Manual:

Part #33-5013 is 350K (75K tap). IRC equivalent D18-137X.

Part #33-5022 is 2M (500K tap). IRC equivalent D13-139X.

I also got a replacement from Mark Oppat.

I have seen 2 different chassis in 16B Cathedral Radios
4 band and the 5 Band which is more common in the 16B

Not sure if VC are the same

[i] I have the 33-5013, I couldn't find anything on it. I opened it up and it looks great, I pulled the one out of my 16X and apparently the pots not the problem. Both work but I'm getting less than half the volume I should at max.[/i]
