My system has sat unused for three years. A move allowed the opportunity to finally hook everything up, however, a god-awful scratchiness came out of the speakers whenever the volume knob of my beloved Threshold NS10 was touched.
Current funds preclude replacing the pot with the Soderburg recommended one.
I'm hoping it's more of a cleaning issue.
Any ideas?

You need: DeoxIT Fader F-series. Fantastic stuff! Amazon carries it, though if you have an electronic supply store in your area, you can probably find it there at better prices.

Use the 5% Red type, the 100% type is meant to be diluted.
Also, Caig's slogan is "The less you use, the better it works," and they mean it.
Are you sure that the volume control isn't a sealed conductive plastic type, though?

I have done the same, it worked well. Don't forget to apply a little grease to the drill bit to keep the majority of particles out of your pots. When working with metal pots and not plastic you can use a steel bit after magnetizing it + grease for the extra insurance.
