Recently acquired a decent Technics SU 610 and I got around to hooking it up last night.  Everything seems to work fine (seems to have a very decent phono stage too!!), except the volume is very scratchy. 

Ive searched through previous posts and tried some switch cleaner....I initially thought that this worked, but as soon as I plug in any component to an input the scratchiness gets bad again...

So, first question is, is it possibly some other issue? 

Secondly, am I applying the cleaner correctly?  I did about 2 to 3 short squirts from both inside the amp onto the volume pot.  Tried from outside as well after pulling the knob off.  IS this enough of cleaner?  Do I need to really really flood it?  Any other suggestions?
