Default 500K pot for Bosch 28

It's SUPPOSED to be a 500K volume control pot for a Bosch 28, but it reads
only 165K, and loads the input stage down quite a bit (I subbed in a 250K
composition pot and the performance improved markedly).

Also, this pot is a wirewound, which does not seem right considering it's
across a tuned circuit in the first stage. It seems that it would change the
inductance in the circuit.


What is the voltage drop on this pot? You may be able to use a 1 watt
carbon pot instead of the ww as 500K is not very common.
