Thanks Greg, Steve, Bob - much appreciated.
Tonight I removed the volume control from the 6-S-254 chassis which normally resides in the house garage, so I guess it is now officially a parts chassis. I desoldered the volume control's terminals, opened up the control and cleaned it (and its associated off-on switch) with DeoxIT, followed by cleaning the control with FaderLube.
I then put it back together and tested it with my multimeter. The control is smooth (according to the multimeter) from "off" to full open.
I'll install it into the 6-S-128 chassis in the next day or two. I think I will install new tuning condenser grommets while I'm at it. This will mean taking the dial assembly apart again, but I think it will be worth the extra effort. The grommets (and chassis supports) won't be here until Saturday.
Greg, thanks for the tip re: using silicone to hold the chassis supports in place. I will do that.
