I used to teach my electronics repair guys "50% of the time, the source of the problem can be found with a thorough visual and functional inspection."
You just proved my point. I hope the circuit cleaner spray did the trick; at least you got the noise to disappear temporarily so you know you're on the right track.
Pretty much all the pots on my Crate 125W Acoustic amp were noisy or crackly. Sprayed 'em all down with circuit cleaner while twisting the knobs, problem solved.

they so uh nd really good. Better than most vintage amps I chased back in the day. It almost nails the tone of my original SC. An d is a better plug and play, in channel one, than my first year Blues Jr. was. With my Strat it is perfect! Wish it had spring reverb!
