Glad I found this place. Real new to collecting. Replaced my Hanuka Box I got in the 80's the RX 5090. That was it. I was hooked again. Been buying a bunch. The RX everything works like a charm. Except static on the volume and balance knob.Any recommendations for fixing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

you need to lubricate the control potentiometers which are the shafts that the knobs are mounted to,use a good electronics control cleaner such as deoxit and spray it into the part of the control that is directly at the end of the shaft near the pc board it should be round shaped with legs that mount to the pc board ,use the spray sparingly and wipe off any excess right away ,and do this with the unit unplugged and the power off.
