Stewart Warner 176 assistance
#1

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/885/M0029885.htm

I recently bought this Stewart Warner 176 locally and just wanted to get a couple of items cleared up. I’m new to this and this radio has been worked on before which complicates it for me. The fellow I bought from said he was new as well and gave up on the restoration. 

R8 is 100,00 and R12 is 500,000. Are they are both potentiometers and if they are, how to measure them properly? Should they be replaced if they’re too high/low?

How would I find a value for R20, it measures 9.600K, I traced it back to a resistor on a large terminal board, it’s brown black but the multiplier has been scrapped off. Is 10K a reasonable value for this resistor. 

The last item is there is a remote volume control on the schematic. It didn’t come with one so is that an issue? I haven’t plugged this in yet and won’t until I finish with caps and resistors.
