Hello Phorum   The volume knob on my radio seems to have a contact issue. when pressing in or up or down I can get the volume louder at times . Any thoughts on cleaning or rewiring ?

Try spraying some DeoxIT in the control and turn it back and forth several times. If that doesn't work, you can sometimes take them apart and clean.
