    I'm trying to upload the photos. Got home and checked the multimeter again. Getting constant resistance across the outside pins. Only getting resistance from middle (wiper) to input when pot on 10. No resistance at any other point in the shaft rotation on both volume pots.

    If that's the case, both pots are shot! What's the odds of that? A Pot is also known as a Variable Resistor. You get a variable resistance between the middle and either of the outer pins as you turn the dial. If you only get a reading when it's on 10, and across the outer pins, then the wiper (middle pin) isn't contacting until it gets to one end.
