Unplug the unit. Spray contact cleaner in the volume mechanism and spin it back and forth a few times. Should fix it.
Deoxit is your friend. Been using it for years. Don't get that Radio Shack stuff, get the standard size cans at Fry's or order online sites. Good stuff.
With all the vintage audio gear I have, going through the pots with Deoxit is standard. I've even used the stuff on the board pots for checking/adjusting bias. Tube pins, sliders etc.
Just used some other day to clean up a pot on one of my metal detectors and a pot on a radio (CCrane).
There is another cleaner that works good but can't recall the name of the stuff.
