After having attached the line cord, I checked the switch and the volume pot again. That is, I did check the switch before. Intermittent. But it's the pot that is bad. Even after restoring the wiper to rheostat contact with Fafer lube, the rheostat itself is over 3M at the nominal of 350K.
I think, a call to Mark Oppat is going to happen.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
