The volume control, balance and some tone controls usally are potentiometers. These are usually closed and held together by metal tabs. You can usually stick the plastic spray tube in or near openings and spray generously and work the control back and forth vigorously. Wipe up any DeOxit that's laying on the chassis or other components and I allow it a few minutes to dry before turning it back on. You might have to repeat this step a time or two. Also while you're there clean off any dust and dirt as best you can. I'm not a tech so there are better ways of doing it possibly and I'm sure better ways to explain how to do it Hope this helps.
