The potentiometer sounds dirty. With the unit off, turn the knob back and forth quickly like 10 times. Also you can try a cleaner like this. http://www.amazon.com/CRC-Electrical-Liquid-Cleaner-Aerosol/dp/B000P1HKFW/ref=pd_sim_263_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41FxRuH94WL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR107%2C160_&refRID=1PG9HT6R2ZEX5926CDQR

The last time I spilled a bit of soda on my board I got a sticky key. I had some of this exact DeoxIT on my desk and used that problem solved. This particular DeoxIT will also add a bit of lubrication.
Other options.
I would use either of these products.
contact cleaner
or
electrical parts cleaner
These exact products can also be had locally in Home Depot and Lowes.
I have used both of these products for years and have never had a problem. Of course make sure there is no power.
I use this on keyboards and Remote Control hobbies, you can literally spray it all over the PCB and in the keys switches and just watch the crap come out. Be aware though that any lube that my have been in the key switches will of course be cleaned out as well.
But other than completely taking it apart (as in soldering if its plate mounted) this will do the trick.
