By "volume control" I meant a small, inexpensive carbon pot of
the physical form of those often used for that function. I
forgot to mention that a linear taper would be preferable to the
log taper of the typical "volume control". Sorry for any
confusion.
The modification uses a small linear taper carbon pot as a
voltage divider feeding a TV horizontal output transistor
configured as an emitter follower. Most of the heat
dissipation is then in the transistor instead of the pot.
