Vaughn, are there any other letters, numbers or markings on that POT besides the RV24YN20S? It seems that that number is a model number of a POT that is manufactured in several different ohm size ranges. It may be that the only way to determine it's size is to use your Ohm meter as you mentioned, if there are no other markings on it that would designate the size range. ('course my Japanese reading is Nil, too).
One of my really pet Peeve's for many years, has been the fact that almost ALL Mfrs just love to leave out electronic part numbers and values, because they want you to have to go back to them and pay ridiculous prices for, in many cases, a ten cent part, that you could upgrade for fifteen cents and eliminate future problems.
I would suggest that when you get the new replacement part, and before ever installing it, (either now or later), measure it with your ohm meter and mark it on the box for future reference.
Sorry about the problem, and hope you're up and running again soon.
