Hello sifter,
This is a fairly common issue; volume control shafts behind and attached to the knobs build up deposits over time that cause the exact results you've described.
Buy a can of tuner cleaner spray for under $5 at an electronics shop. To use, turn off the unit and remove the volume control knob. Volume knobs typically can be removed by pulling them straight outward. Spray the cleaner on the metal volume control shaft underneath the volume knob. Replace the volume control knob and rapidly turn the knob back and forth to work in the cleaner and remove the offending deposits.
This usually fixes the problem but, if not, the deposit buildup may be too excessive and you'll need to have a local tv/electronics repair shop clean it professionally.
