"I'm looking for two of the 25K, 4W wirewound pots which are used as the
'Drive' control in the Ranger and Valiant.  Johnson part number is
22.732.  Someone has replaced the Ranger pot with a 5K, 4W control, and
the Valiant has a standard 25K 'volume-control'  pot which was visibly
overheated."

Smoking "pot"? For shame.

"Mouser doesn't even list a 25K, 4W pot, and the prices
charged by the big suppliers like Newark are $25 and up."

There is a simple mod to replace the drive pot with a regular "volume 
control" in conjunction with a TV horizontal output transistor which then takes most of the heat.  A search will turn this up, IIRC, on amfone.net
