I'm happy to admit I'm not an amp repairer, unless it's something simple like a pot replacement.
I've been asked to replace a pot (Master Vol), but the description of the problem "when the pot is turned it doesn't go up in volume, then it jumps in volume and only settles in a few places" makes me wonder if it's more than a pot causing the problem.
I'd rather send the owner to a local amp repairer than waste his (and my) time, I'm not one for charging someone for something I've failed to fix.
So pot, or something failing elsewhere ?

These are extremely robust and reliable amps in general, and it's quite likely the problem is nothing more than one of these, which are the most common faults by far.
They are also worth a pittance despite this and the quite usable volume and sound quality, so best not to spend more on it than you have to...

Thanks guys, I've passed on the information so he can do it himself if he wishes.
