Hi tom,

Well, I may have what you want.  This control is an inline volume 
control with the usual stereo plug on one end and a stereo jack on the 
other.  The whole thing is less than a foot long and you put it between 
the device and the speakers.  It has a small pot with a thumbwheel for 
adjusting the control.  I believe it cost around $7 or so.

The radio shack catalog number I have is:

42-2559 and last time I ordered it, it was only available online or via 
their toll free phone.

Hope it's still around as it can be a handy device.

I've had mine for a couple of years, so can't vouch for it's availability.
