[QUOTE="roddy100, post: 1049563, member: 19097"] Okay. I resisted going to buy a tin of contact cleaner. Opened amp and discovered two tiny wires to an LED on back of volume knob. One no longer connected. Deep breath and a dab with the soldering iron and I again have a light. To get the tip of solder gun onto LED pin required removing knob from shaft of pot. Did that. Now I had the shaft and knob with wiring out the way. Just gently turned the volume from zero to max and back again for a few minutes. When all was reassembled and amp powered up again the volume seems to be back, not soft. Thanks to all for guidance. [/QUOTE]
