Poly-800 Crackles & Distortion

2011-09-15 by Alex

Hi,

I've just switched on my ancient and rather battered Poly-800. It's been on a shelf here at work for several years, and I notice the volume pot is crackly (which I guess is easily fixable with contact-cleaner), but also that there seems to be distortion on one side of the headphone output with highly resonant sounds. Any tips?
