I am in the same boat - I know it is 1K as I stated earlier. The two
pins on the sides are for an OFF/ON switch. As I said, they aren't
giving me any indication besides this that I read on the baggie at the
store :

P1K - SW
6222-20 5 Pin

Not much help, I don't think...

Hi,

The place I was buying my 5 pin potentiometers has run out. I
phoned a couple of places, but they need part numbers (which I
don't have and can't get from the store - they must know that I am
outsourcing and
there is nothing listed on the part). When I asked for a 1K
potentiometer with 5 pints on the phone to Mouser
andhttp://www.potentiometers.com , it was like asking if they had
seen a unicorn, so I am wondering if
these are rare. They told me they have lots of 3 pin, but not 5
pin.

Any ideas or places to purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what is the potentiometer looks like:

I know it might not be enough to go on, but maybe someone can point
me in the right direction.

Brand, part number, resistance, physical size, wattage, taper?
that
looks like a transistor radio volume control with a switch from the
front, but you haven't given us ANYTHING to work with.

Just found a "Sharp" transistor radio with what looks like an identical
pot! No threads on the bush, with a split, 5mm dia splined shaft. Its
soldered through a cut out in the circuit board using all five tabs.
However its value is 10K log, stamped in the side. Physically its body
is 15mm dia x 4 or 5mm thick. There is no part No: that I can see.
