Default Bad volume pot on old stereo - Replacement?

What really bugged me was that it was barely a watt per channel, yet
they were sold as 200 watts per channel. We bought ECG 102 transistors
by the case. We couldn't get enough replacements from
Morse/Electrophonic to get them out the door before the warranty
expired. Most of the time we just got a credit to use for non warranty
parts. I convinced the owner to drop them and Curtis Mathis when it was
time to renew the contracts. I was glad that we never sold them. I
used to pick them up for spare hardware at Renninger's in Mt. Dora, (a
local flea market), from another dealer for 25 cents each after they had
sat around for a few weeks.
