Quoted from durgee7:I decided to play around with the volume knob and noticed big differences when going to higher or lower volume.
I noticed that at about 25seconds in your vid there is a "cutting out" which looks to me like a classic dirty poteniometer (i.e. the electronic volume control). Here is a quick and easy thing you can try. With the pin off, cycle (rotate back and forth to the extreme) the volume knob 10-15 times, and a few extras short cycles over that setting where the cracking occurred at low volume in the vid. This sometimes works to dislodge the crud on the internal wiper that is the source of the cutout, and better yet, it is free. Don't forget to leave the volume at the low end when you turn the pin back on. You can also cycle with the pin on at lower volume settings.
