I will open new topic and make some kind of the potentiometer guide book based on my experience during weekend.

@koba - the good one :) . Is it the same behavior independently from the source ( FM/Phono/Tape )? 

No matter which source (haven't checked Phono though). Also no matter A or B speakers are used

@nimei - send me the photo, I need to know the type you have, than I can give you some advice.

Haha, turns out the picture I thought was from the one I opened recently is not actually from my receiver... I will take some pictures once I’ve got it back at my place. Thank you anyway!

Unfortunately, at least one of my 20xx series receivers has the difficult potentiometers, too. Do you have any tipps for me where/how to spray clean them properly? Thanks in advance!

Is it the same behavior independently from the source ( FM/Phono/Tape )? Unfortunately you have 3 which are very difficult to open and clean....

Thank you! Except the mentioned issue the volume potentiometer works flawlessly... But thinking the same way you do I've already cleaned it by Kontakt Pr cleaner (made in Poland 😀 ) - unfortunately no result

The first one on the left ( volume ) is not easy to open ( I don't recommend without knowledge and special tools ) so only spry may help, the rest is relatively easy to open and clean.

The first one - it may happen that a very,very thin blade ( like a ring ) keeping the graphite pin is broken and than you have to replace the whole potentiometer.
