Yamaha RX-V1 Volume Control Issue

[tone2222]

My RX-V1's volume control has play in it (it freely pushes in and out about 1/2 inch) - the knob is tight on the shaft, but the shaft moves in and out. Can anyone tell me how much i would be looking at to repair it?Also, can anyone tell me how much the part would be to replace it and where I could find it?
Thanks

did you ever figure this out? I have a similar problem, which is affecting volume control on my yamaha rx-550 receiver.

thanks!

Always try to use your warranty when you have it.
Opening such expensive things without really knowing what your screwing loose is dangerous. You could by accident screw a PCB out of its place and ruin whole your device.
