How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas

I noticed that when I started looking at the values.

This Pas has been rebuilt, but it was done before I bought it. The 250k pot is too sensitive and the pre sounds very good. I am wondering if the guy that did the mods changed the values toward the good. Should I start over and make sure that everything is ok? This is where I am leaning.
I feel like this little Preamp has alot to offer for a beginner hacker.
I really appreciate your help V.

Viridian: a St70,though very interesting to me,would never work with my speakers (Acoustat 2s).
Correct me if I am wrong,but Joe's circuit removes some of the caps to be replaced by wire? He seems to have a handle on the RIAA curve. I will send you some picts of my Pas board.
In the meantime, I definetly plan on changing out the rectifier for a new power supply cap board,and change out the pilot light for a diode. I feel like the volume pot is way off from where it should be. Honestly I really don't have a grip on that yet.Will having a 100k pot make it less sensitive?

I love it that Ralph jumps in on these strings. It proves to me that he has genuine interest in our hobby and makes me more interested in his products than others.(not to mention the great write ups his amps get)

thanks again

Thanks V. I have used a 25k stepped attenuator and built myself a little one input passive preamp (no autoformer)and it sounds pretty nice using the Pas2 as a phono stage only. The weird this is;I don't have to turn on the tape monitor,it just works.
Is this normal?
