Yeah, I was going to steal one from my TR-3 "boneyard special", but someone
else beat me to it. I have two in my T-4XB parts unit, but, of course,
they're different values.
I'm repeating to myself, "I will never again remove the nuts from a Drake
meter, I will never again remove the nuts from a Drake meter..."

Steve -
I don't think there is a mechanical equivalent being made today. Best
chance is a donor unit. It's a fairly standard (for the time) CTS pot,
and may be possible to replace just the element if you can find a regular
bushing mount style. You may or may not be able to salvage the plastic
shaft.

I couldn't find a match in Mouser's catalogue for the 500-ohm,
plastic-shaft pot that's used for setting the S-Meter Zero on the side of
the 4-line receivers.
Does anyone here know of a source?
Still looking...
