I'm looking for a replacement volume potentiometer for a Beolit 600. Can anyone suggest where I could get one? A used one is acceptable assuming it's not scratchy/intermittent. I don't need the knob, just the actual pot.

Which version of Beolit 600?
Rotating or sliding volume knob?

It's the version with slide controls. The radio came out in the early 70s, and is the one with removable, coloured front and back panels. The pot is a 50k slider with a loudness tap, and is about 85mm long.

I'm sure I can find one in the dungeons (PM or email me) -
but can't yours be made good if given a little contact cleaner?
It's not that uncommon to find scrathy slide potentiometers. It's almost more of a rule to see them in need of cleaning etc. after 40+ years.

No, I've tried cleaning it - it's too far gone for that! I don't have your email address - mine's
