I found the table. The original potentiometer behaves as follows:

Reading on scale Ohm
10 55
20 175
30 360
40 825
50 1200
60 1700
70 2190
80 2900

The scale on the panel is LINEAR. Of course I could paste a non-linear =
paper scale on the panel, thus emulating the non-linear potentiometer. =
But if one tries to do so, he will immediately realize that an important =
part of the scale gets highly compressed, with difficulties in =
accurately setting the knob to where indicated by the book.

Thanks for the suggestion to use a standard potentiometer that =
approximately has the same behaviour and to paste a paper scale to =
compensate for the difference. However, I will have to verify two =
things:

- whether potentiometers having a similar behaviour can really be easily =
found
- how much power the original potentiometer was supposed to dissipate. =
It may not be easier at all to find high-power carbon potentiometers=20

The pot is nonlinear and the dial scale is also, so the resulting

-3V at a dial setting of 20 (22 for the military TV-7).

I am thinking that if you could use a standard antilog or log pot

to get reasonably close to the original taper.
