the volume knob for the amp crackles when changing volumes.

the crackle is especially annoying!!! ITS SO LOUD!!! its so bad that i have to turn off the thing, change the volume, then turn it back on.
The tuner is "old school" pre quartz lock technology... hence they tend to "wander". You can help this by either getting an on roof FM antenna, a powered indoor antenna or buying a cheap tuner with quartz lock and run it in the aux input.

The crackle comes from old "pots" they tend to get dusty and crackly. Either replace the pot or open it up and lubricate it with some silicone spray...
