Hi all,

I've a 37-610 that I bought awhile ago. It's been partially restored and playes quite well with one exception. The volume control is very intermittent to the point of being annoying.

My question is can the pot be cleaned? Taken apart. I'd hate to have to replace this. Are there any guides on the Philco Repair Bench that get into this?

Appreciate your help and assistance.
