Good evening folks...I just got an SX-1050 on Thursday night for $100 in pretty good cosmetic shape, but with a couple of small issues. The first obvious problem is that I would have to turn the volume knob back and forth to get the right channel working. Once I got it working by jiggling the volume control the unit worked beautifully, until I changed the volume...then the right channel would drop out and I would have to jiggle the volume control to get the right channel working again. I figured it was oxidation, so all the switches and pots will get the treatment. I started the pot cleaning by dropping the board which contains the volume pot (the board also contains the balance and a punch of toggle switches. I then saw a volume control I have never seen before...it is a square pot with small screws in each corner (see picture below). I stopped at that point for some advice of those who have walked this way before me. How do you clean a pot like this? Do I have to open it (I don't see any openings to spray into)? What do I need to look for when I open the pot (if that is the way to clean it)? Any advice on this pot in particular and any hints in general for cleaning all the switches and toggles would be most appreciated :thmbsp:!
