2270 stubborn crackling balance

Hi

Have balance potentiometer crackling on the left side. Tried deoxit and compressed air many times but does not help. I had a crackling pot in one Yamaha unit and it was a bad cap that caused that. In this case I have this 2270 recapped so don't know, probably it's just dirty but maybe you have some idea.

Thx

If it doesn't crackle when you move the volume pot, then I doubt there is a bad cap.
If cleaning doesn't help, you may have to replace the balance control.
Almost any 250K Ohm dual balance control with a splined shaft from many other Marantz model receivers will work.
