volume knob

Hi All, Whenever I switch on my BC769D the volume is already pretty loud. It would appear there is dead spot on the volume knob. Its not until turning the knob about halfway that I can even increase the volume. Any potential tricks or fixes? Thanks

For the life of me I can not get the volume knob off the radio, it almost feels as if it's glued on. I saw snarlingbiddog's video on YouTube of him removing the knob and it just popped right off. I even followed instructions from the Manual via this link...

I have searched high and low for info on this but I don't see where anyone has actually found a solution. My Pro-197 has had a scratchy volume pot for years. Now it's to the point where I am losing audio in the first part of the pot's range - which we all know takes you from no volume to...

okay I was using my scanner the other day and when I tried to change volume it won't change. The selection part works though any help welcome. will provide more info if needed the best I can.
