Randy,  

 

Those are very hard to find,  some people ran 12V through the power switch and 
burned them as there weren't designe for that current.  

There were only meant to power the AC line to the power supply.

 

Best find any push/pull pot of any value then replace the resistor plate with 
one that works or the original if not damaged.

 

I have a surplus store here that sells the 100 ohm version in the same body 
style,

 

What I have done in the past is open the front of the 100 ohm one by lifting 
the tabs and then replaced the carbon resistor plate with the correct value.

 

If you can't use the original plate,  Make sure you find the right type of 
resistor plate,  there is a  audio taper and a linear taper.

 

Hope that help.

Best Wishes
Richard
