Congratulations!
The original volume control was 5000 ohms. It should not be hard to source a replacement. If you decide to replace it, be sure and get a linear taper potentiometer, not an audio taper.
Try some FaderLube (DeoxIT Fader F5) in it first. Don't use red label DeoxIT - that is for switch contacts only. Use the green label DeoxIT Fader F5. And for goodness' sakes, don't use WD-40!
A word about the antenna coil, part (2). As the winding that was rewound appears to have been done rather sloppily, this is in the antenna input of the radio and, therefore, is somewhat forgiving. If it had been one of the other coils, it is more important that they be rewound properly if they were to need it.
