The same thing occurs with my Drake R8B.

"The AF/RF gain control (5K/3K) for the R-8B is no longer available. However,
you can substitute this with the PBT/Squelch control (10K/10K), 326-0006,
available at a cost of $5.13." -- Bill Frost, Drake.

I've not tried this myself.

Thanks for the information. If it came from Bill Frost, it's gospel.

However, I'm not going to open the receiver up just to check the part
number, as the low-volume audio output that remains when the volume
control is in the Min position is a non-issue for me.

Bear in mind that that is Drake's part number, not necessarily the one on the pot
itself.

If I want
absolute silence, the Power switch is able to effect that quite
nicely.

At least on the R7/A there is a mute switch! In my case with the R8B and the R7 is
that the volume is very, very low in the totally counter clockwise position.
