    First thing I usually do when I get a second-hand Peavey amp, is I replace all the input sockets with new ones, which reminds me, I did that to my Peavey Renown amp and that fixed the intermittent input sockets completely, I'd recommend buying a can of Electrical Clean & Lube from your local Jaycar Electronics shop, and give all the pots a spray with it, you'll need to put a bend in the end of the thin plastic straw that comes with the can of Electrical Clean & Lube so you can spray into the pot, then rotate the pot-knob back and forth through it's full range a few times, that usually fixes crackly/noisy pots.

    For pots, it's better if you can find lubricated contact cleaner. A little tougher to get than the regular stuff, but better for parts that move.

    Jaycar sell a can of Servisol Electrical Clean & Lube (Cat. No. NA-1012) it contains a lubricated contact cleaner, I think it costs about Au$16.00 or so per can, it is great for pots, Deoxit is good too.
