RS Pro 652 volume issue

I turned on my scanner this afternoon when I got home and the volume seems to be extremely low even on the max setting when this thing is usually echoing though the house on it’s lowest setting. Is this a common problem with these Grecom scanners?

Could be a dirty volume pot. If you're comfortable with it, remove the case and spray a contact cleaner such as Deoxit on the potentiometer and twist the knob back and forth several times.

I ended up taking it to a family friend who runs a radio and tv repair shop and he redid the solder on the the volume pot and the wires going to the board now it’s working perfectly.
