Yes, that's true, but practically speaking how critical is the
position of a volume knob ? Robert said the headphones
are old and presumably the pot is mono. Transistor radio
type thumbwheel volume pots are available as components.
Not as common as shaft pots, but they're around. Or wait
for the next stuffed tranny that comes along and strip it. Some
large presets have similar wheel controls. For example many
(old) TVs have them as trimmers. Probably linear but would
do in a pinch
