I had my model 38-3 radio recapped recently. It plays very well but it seems that there is an issue with the volume control. When I turn the volume control fully counter clockwise to the minimum volume setting the radio does not mute. A few times when I turn the volume clockwise to increase the volume the volume will increase but most of the time the volume actually decreases a bit. This does seem to be intermittent but again most of the time the volume control doesn't adjust the volume level. It seems to remain at a constant level. What should I check to see if I can correct the volume control?

Thanks,

Charlie
