I have a resistance of 30 to 70 ohms or so across the on/off switch contacts on the back of the volume potentiometer. It varies as I wiggle the probes of the DMM. I've tried contact cleaner and exercising the switch, but I need to get in there and polish the contacts.
Some of my repair parts literature mentions replacing the volume pot with "manufacturer part # xxx and adding the on/off switch contacts to the back of the pot".
Looking at my volume/on/off control, it looks like the switch on the back would come off, if I knew the trick of getting it to release.
Can anyone offer any guidance? Is there another method of cleaning these contacts?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
