Control sections, even of very fine equipment, get dirty and perhaps a bit
worn over time. Usually cleaning them with a spray contact cleaner and then
working the selector repeatedly will clean them. In a worst case scenario,
the selector switch or volume pot can be replaced by a competent technician
or (hopefully) the factory repair depot. There is really no need to throw
away a good piece of equipment that your are otherwise happy with.
