Arcam Alpha 7 - Worth Keeping or Selling

Hi Guys -
I have an Arcam Alpha 7 amp that is having some issues - the sound gets really scratchy when mess with the volume and I occasionally I get fuzz out of my left speaker. Is this a known problem? Something I can fix by cleaning? Is it even worth selling this little guy or do they go right to the dumpster? Thanks!

Hmmm, unfortunatley it didnt work. I think the potentiometer is broken. Is this difficult to replace? I am handy with a soldering iron...

the amp is a snap to disassemble. the pot should be easy to replace, but if it is a remote-controlled unit, it may be costlier and/or a challenge to source.
