How To Repair Scratchy Noisy Volume Control Or Tone Control

Volume controls, tone controls, etc, can get dirty and gunked up over time. They can develop oxidation. This leads the static noise and you turn the dials on on radios, computer speakers or whatever type of electronic device you have with knobs. Sometimes the sound cuts out altogether. They also get sticky so they don't turn freely. I show you how to clean and lubricate these controls to make them sound better, move smoothly, and quiet the static. In the video I am fixing computer speakers, but it's just the same to fix radios, electric guitars, guitar amps or whatever. The only difference is the taking it apart. They will still have a potentiometer that is dirty.

I recommend using control cleaner. I used Radio Shack Control Cleaner, but unfortunately most Radio Shacks have closed. I think you can still order it online. Another option is DeoxIT F5.

I get people asking if other stuff will work. I use control cleaner because it is made for the application. Maybe they think that all liquids in a spray can are the same? If you want to know if alcohol, water, WD-40, or any liquid, you go ahead an try it. It's your device, so feel free to damage it.
