No problem with the pots and switches after all these years?
My folks acquired a Clairtone + Gerrard turnable cabinet.

I can't find the actual photo of the receiver, but it was
loaded with all kinds of special options such as bass-boost,
treble boost, flipping L-R audio channels, re-directing the
phono output to one channel and having the radio on the other,
etc.
I think it was around 1962 when I was still pre-school age when
was allowed to operate it. The unit still served well into the
late 70's. But by then, some of the switches started to not
cooperate, and the tuner was having issues.
The first issue it developed was a grounding hum. A couple of
large capacitors had dried up. With the help of an
electronics/shop highschool teacher, the capacitors were
replaced successfully.
But the switches deteriorated soon after.
