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.

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

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]
