GnR DE

have a potmeter that has some "dead" spots and it scratches when being adjusted
any tips on replacing it, maybe with a better pot or other newer more modern kind of equipment?

Did you ever replace the potentiometer? Did it fix your issue?

I have a DE Star Wars and the sound has never worked right. I've tried new sound board, etc I do remember the volume scratching loudly when I turn the volume knob. That's likely an easy fix to try.
