Bought one new in 1969. Kept it for 3 years and traded it for a MR-71, C28 and MC2105 with a MQ -101 environmental equalizer. Still have them and they function flawlessly.
Can you tell me how you cleaned the inside of the glass? Most will hve some mild fog on the inside as they are over 40+ years old in all ones for sale or in collections.
I typically try to first use a dry microfiber cloth (very gently). If that doesn't get most of it, I'll use a little bit of dawn dish soap and water with either the cloth or a cotton swab. Or I just try to not worry about it :)
With all the aftermarket auto parts for classic cars and audio conponents, why can't someone manufacture a simple replacement. I mean these pots were used in 1940's radios (mono) and they would not be complicated to make. Companies make parts for Thorens TT & power packs for Kenwood, so why not these alod for the C series preamps.

That was a good trade :) I still need to get to my 2105.
Mr. Miller...I still am going to clean controls but left channel has lesser volume than right channel
...what else may this point to
Failing caps…especially any blue Sanyo caps in the tone control or amp boards.

Cannot agree more...we can contemplate sending people to Mars, yet we cannot figure out this potentiometer :)
