philco 80 jr. help please. 1st time restoring a radio this old
#1

hi all.

first post here.

i normally restore radios from the late 70's era, but a friend asked me to try my hand at his old philco.

definitely a different world than im used to.

i am at the moment replacing all the old components in the radio, and i have a couple of questions im hoping someone here can help me with.

1. there is a 325 ohm wirewound resistor that looks like a small roll of toilet paper.
can anyone tell me the wattage of this resistor and if i have to use a certain type?

2. the volume control is completely seized and im having a H**l of a time finding a replacement with the right specs, size, and that includes a switch.
its a 20K pot (im assuming its an audio taper) and the switch needs to handle 3a at 125 volts. the shaft is a D type, and its 25mm long.
can anyone point me to a vendor that might have one of these?

thanks, and im also open to any schematics or diagrams you guys might have.
(i have the six pages from nostalgiair)
