I am in the process of re purposing a 1930's or 1940's RCA Victor 55x radio. Before it was given to me mice were living in it and the wiring was toast so I pulled out the guts and am installing a blue tooth amp board (2x30w from parts-express.com), however, I want to keep the original volume knob so I need to find a potentiometer that is physically the same size (shaft diameter, length, etc., d-style or flatted (not really sure what it's called) so the knob fits, but I also need it to match the boards wiring. The board has a volume control with 6 wires (I am assuming DPST) but the potentiometer I am looking for also needs to be a switch.
Here's the amp I am using, essentially I just need to find a switched potentiometer (I also want to add the power switching to the volume control so the radio looks/feels/acts just like the original) for two speakers. I can wire it into the current board using the wiring harnesses that came with the board.

I did find the following potentiometer (which I think will fit) but I'm not sure how to wire it with a stereo amp?

Thanks in advance and I am open to any/all ideas, my only requirement is that it's bluetooth and it doesn't change the looks of the radio.
