No, it would send data if it was wibbling.

Okay, that leaves the tuning slider. You can probably give that a
squirt of pot cleaner (the electronic kind, not the kitchen kind) from
the top and waggle it back and forth a few times until it stops being so
scratchy.

If all else fails, you'll need to replace it.
