Sending pre in for service, need volume controller

Buconero, don't know what a "Chase RL box" is, but it would have to be pretty spectacular to improve upon that First Sound passive.

A used Chase RL box, often available for $50 will do the trick. However, be warned, it may sound better then your pre. The Chase has a remote control, which will make you lazy.

For others reading the post and FWIW I have been using a Creek OBH- 12 for various remote volume control applications and have had good success with it.

Thanks, everyone. It's looking like it might not be too painful after all. I can make an appointment, overnight it to First Sound and be music-less for maybe 3-4 days, tops. I was thinking it was going to be longer, but Mr. Go seems to think it's just a simple toggle switch replacement, as the other inputs work perfectly. It's only the right channel on the main input that cuts in and out.

Appreciate all the help.

Can you solder? You can build one with Radio Shack parts for $20 or so.

Google "passive preamp diy" for info.
