Hi David,
it looks like the inside of the type of pot found in my HMV 905.
There should indeed be a polished washer.
Have a look at post 97 here:-

Let me know how many washers are missing, I have lots of spare pots to take them from and I might be able to supply you with replacement tracks if I happen to have the right values. Btw, having replaced the washer in one of the pots (I think it was the contrast control) in the 905 I found that the increase in value from 5K to 7K due to the scratch on the track did not make any real difference to the operation of the set.

Cheers
Andy
