I am looking to get a reasonably priced fm receiver that is also an amplifier.
Uses: to play back audio files from my phone. Possibly hook my tv up to it. Output to 250 wt JBL speakers.
Bluetooth or cable hookup from phone to amplifier.
I am 69, so don't really need high end anymore.
I cleaned my older amplifier volume control, but it still crackles. I have also refoamed the speakers.
 
Hi-fi receivers aren't as plentiful as they once were.
If you can still buy new, you won't have a lot of choice - and secondhand might have the sort of issue that yours still has.

Is your old amp a receiver - that you might like to keep?
You said you cleaned its volume control. If contact cleaner successfully reached its tracks and wipers, then either the tracks are worn or you've got a dry joint on the PCB.

Am I right in thinking you just want a change? as you'd be more than capable of fitting a new volume control or re-soldering any dry joints on the old amp.

Thanks for the reply. Where would I purchase an appropriate volume control
