Fixing a vox

[Stratottack]

We've had this Vox ad100vht hanging around for a few years and it worked fine up until last night. On the back there's a knob that controls the power level and I'm pretty sure it took a sh*t on us.

Has anyone ever just removed that contraption and bypassed it in other amp heads containing them with decent results?
I live in an area where fix it shops are none and few in between and the head ain't worth a lot of money but if it's salvageable I'd like to keep it around as it does make quiet a bit of noise when it's working.

At the moment it won't let out 100th of a watt and I fart louder than that.

Well thanks for looking folks. Strangest thing........I sprayed some Leumas lube I have handy here, right into the Pot and spun it around for a few minutes and fired it right up. Louder now and plenty of Vox chime again.

Thanks Leumas. That stuff works miracles.

Thanks Mosrats.
Maybe the Mods can nuke this thread for me and it won't take up space as I don't think I'm going to find anyone that's bypassed one of those power levels on the rear of a head.

Nuke it please.
