First off i would like to say hi to everyone. im new here and thanks for having me, well i just got my hands on a very super clean almost mint kustom challenger combo (black) with cover and footswitch its been hiding in a closet since 1973 (he thinks anyhow) i got it home tryed it out and it works sorta typical rca jack corrosion and so on any way tor it down new switch, grounded power cord, cleaned pots and jacks, and all works great other than the volume does not turn down all the way, pulled the pot hand cleaned it put it back and same thing puled it again got a new cts 250k had to swap the d shaft into it tests good re-installed and same thing volume just dont go to zero is this common for these amps or do i have somthing else wrong.
thanks
eric
