Pioneer SA 9500 cleaning the pots

How I accessed and cleaned the pots

[@Polarbear397]

I have a SA 9500 as well. Bought it in the late 70's. Haven't turned it on for 30 years. Going to power it on with a variac, replace whatever caps I have to and clean the switches. This video has been a real help. Thanks.

I am currently reviving the same amp. When attempting to remove the volume knob, the shaft came off with it. Found that one of the previous owners had glued the knob to the shaft. I found that the shaft had a keyed end inside the pot and just re-inserted it back into it and it works fine. Though I has ruined it at first but fortunately it all worked out.

Hello, I sprayed oil-free contact spray inside the function keys and then the buttons got stuck. What can I do to fix it? Thanks.pioneer sa-540
