Hi Doug,
I've had everything except the RIT fail on these radios and while sometimes you may be lucky enough to be able to repair it as you have other times there's just no way. There were people selling really expensive replacement pots for years and their implementations varied in their elegance. For a long time I made do with the single gang pots from Jaycar which means no on/off switch. Rockby recently advertised the dual 10K switch pot which is a really great solution because now you don't even notice the radio has been hacked.
On attaching the PDF's, I thought about that but I often change my documents so anyone copying from here may not get the latest version.
Here are the links to the latest files.
