I\u2019ve done some experimenting on volume controls that are badly worn \nand noisy. The idea is to substitute some resistance for the badly worn \nspot. The loud crackling will be reduced and the normal volume point \nwill be moved to a higher point on the control. For a 5k control, I put a\n 470 ohm resistor between the wiper and the low or common end of the \npot. If you can\u2019t find a replacement for a badly worn pot, this is one \nsimple and inexpensive way to get more life out of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
