I'm looking for a working replacement for this pot which has 4 pins and was used in the Radioplayer 3362 and possibly other Philips of the era. It has a shaft which can be unscrewed and is mounted by two screws on the sides.
Looking at any offers.

What is the overall resistance of this pot, and can you send Brad a photo to help in identification.

If you can't find one, you can make one out of a standard pot of same rating and profile, by adding your own tap. I did this for my Philips 123 and there is a thread about it somewhere on this site.

Tapped pots seem to be quite hard to find.
