I have a floor model record player from the mid-late 70s, and the volume knob isn't working right. Every time I turn the volume knob, I only get sound from the right channel or the left channel is very very low. If I wiggle the volume know I get sound from both channels till I change the volume again and it's back to only right channel sound. It happens on LP, 8-Track and radio.

I took took the stereo apart, I sprayed the volume knob in side with, Mass air flow sensor cleaner(that's all I had on hand), and greased it with a few drops of motor oil. Now I get constant sound from both channels, but the right channel is normal while the left channel is really low. I think it's impossible to replace.
