Philco 610 Volume Pot - Need Advice

Ain't the internet wonderful? If we were doing all this back before the web, we'd be isolated without knowing there are all of those sources out there.

The only thing strange about this replacement pot is that I have to turn the control further than i used to with the old one to obtain the same volume level. For example, I used to give it a quarter turn with the old pot to get a satisfactory volume level. With the new pot installed, I have to set the control at about one third to get the same level. Could it be that I have a linear taper pot instead of an audio or is it a normal difference between two controls? The values of the control are correct. With the loudness tap removed I get louder volume but the tone switch won't work if I do that.
