Fix Aesthetix Io volume control?


Hello audio friends, I have a problem with the right channel volume control of the Aesthetix Io. It sounds like the solder has cracked. I wonder if anyone has opened these controls and fixed them. Maybe not too difficult? Professional repair is far from where I live.

O_holter, about 7 years ago I had a crackling noise in one
channel of my Io as I rotated the volume control. My thought
was that something had gone wrong with the volume control. I
sent it back to Aesthetix to resolve and when Glenn got it
on the bench, it turned out to be a loose socket for the
6sn7 tube. He replaced the tube socket and I haven't had a
problem since.
