It's an oddball control with a shaft running through it to the volume pot/power switch.
One good thing though is that only two legs of the pot are used so I can easily stick a fixed value in there for now that give me a decent picture.

Maybe AUdubon5425 saved this control from his set
Another of Philco's odd-ball controls. The control you have looks like a CTS made one. Maybe you can find a resistance element that's close in resistance from another control. I've done that on a few occasions.
