Put a 10K resister in parallel to the pot and you’ll be pretty close. ? Dusty ?

2-C I'm refurbing has no sound until I hit about 2/3 scale, and then it

I took the pot apart, and the first 2/3 of the carbon trace is
completely GONE.
These seem to be hard to come by these days, as I have been searching
parts suppliers and surplus sites for a couple hours. Seems like an
unusual value for a pot, but I guess Drake used them more than once.?? I
probably will get as close as I can with a substitute if no luck, but
thought I would ask first.
