A new pot.
Off the top of my head, there are only 5 pots in my R-390A (local
audio, line audio, limiter, carrier meter, if gain) and they're
all vanilla. (OK, the limiter has a little-bit-funky switch on
the back, but if that's in fine condition, it can be transplanted
to a new pot maybe with a little drilling/milling).
When I do put new ones in, it's mil-spec cermet or plastic. I'm
not going to claim that they'll never get noisy, but they've been
damn good so far.
Tim.
