That's interesting it shouldn't matter much as the "volume control" doesn't really control the volume it controls the rf signal coming into the set. I have seen some sets that been modified so that the rf gain is fixed (w/a resistor) and an audio gain control replaced the original. If you trace the wiring around the original will go over to #2. Also the resistance of the pot would be much high if in the audio circuit like 1/2 to 1 meg.
Oh also spec on the resistors is 20%.
Just something to look for when you are replacing parts.

When my pals were reading comic books
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 it!
