I've got a small Toshiba clock radio. When I turn the volume knob, there is no smooth transition of volume. Instead, there is a lot of static until I hit a certain point, then the reception is clear again. Somewhat random. If I leave the volume at certain settings, there is no reception. It's very touchy. It seems like it might be a cleaning/build-up issue in the rheostat? If so, what part should I clean, and how? Or is it something else? Not a terribly expensive radio, so would just buy a new one if it involved buying parts.
I would understand this type of thing with the tuning knob, but not quite sure what's going on with the volume, that would give me static, or even silence.
