If anyone has a working control, I’ll be interested in buying it. Riders says it’s 400,000 ohm and the zenith part number is 63-565, if that helps at all.
You are going to have to remove the pot anyway so you can try to loosen the binding. From the looks of the shaft, it looks like a universal replacement, as well.
That model must've been a real problem with power transformers and volume controls.
