Hi Guy!

Caig Labs makes stuff especially for dealing with controls. It used to be called moving contact lubricant (MCL). Perhaps that's still its name.

If the ganged stereo volume control is "shot", a bit of scrambling may be needed. Your photo suggests the unit has the no longer manufactured "Black Beauty" conductive plastic control as OEM. Find out the value needed. Michael Percy shows some stock of Noble controls that may be an easy fit. Frankly, if a PEC KK series hot molded Carbon part can be "shoehorned" in, you will get better sound.
