Okay. I'll give this a try. I'm going to just remove the pot, disassemble it, and deep clean it.
One thing I am sort of wondering about, and I can get pictures of this if you need it: I'm noticing that the pot doesn't have the standard three lugs. Instead, it has one that goes to C2D/the main PCB, and two that connect to ground. That matches the schematic just fine, but since this is unusual, is there anything I should be watching out for as I disassemble?
