I'll have to look again. I probably won't do anything until this
weekend. It didn't jump out at me, last time I had the cover off. If I
recall correctly, many things were attached. I've got a Fisher that
needs work (what, I don't know), and the face plate came off that very
easily.
I don't have anything with multiple concentric spindles, on this amp,
fortunately. Looking at the amp, it really isn't the pots that are the
main problem, it's the switches. They are rotary switches, not sliding
switches. I guess that's why I was thinking pots.

Wonderful....
I don't know if I can do that. Last time I tried cleaning
them, I couldn't figure out how to easily remove the faceplate. The
Normally you remove all the knobs and then the faceplate is held on by
one of :
Screws from the back going into tapped bushes cast into the faceplate
Screws from the top and bottom going through flanges on the faceplate
Extra nuts on a couple of the controls. How can I tell
if they are standard? Who would be the best to order new
ones from? I've never purchased components like this before.
Ah.... What I normally do is see if I can find a suitable replacement in
any of the component catalogues I have. In general, pots with multiple
concentric spindles (say volume and balance with 2 knobs one in front of
the other), pots with fixed taps along the track (i.e. more than 3
connections) and anything with more than 2 gangs are going to be hard to
find.
