I have just checked the pot with an Avo meter it is definitely Log.
The original is an ex WD wire wound twin track item with no markings except a military part number 10C/1888. I suspect this would have been linear.
I don't think I have a linear pot to try in its place, I would need to check that, it would also need to have a DP switch.

The set performs well, with a volume well above normal listening, on strong signals, it gets all the MW and LW stations that are available here.
The aerial is about 6 metres long, I am unable to get it higher or longer.

Thanks Dave.
