Fix Aesthetix Io volume control?

Hello audio friends, I have a problem with the right channel volume control of the Aesthetix Io. It sounds like the solder has cracked. I wonder if anyone has opened these controls and fixed them. Maybe not too difficult? Professional repair is far from where I live.

less likely the resistors in volume pot will go bad. connections to those resistors is actually culprit

Try to remove knob and spray Caig De-oxit inside the volume pot. Spin back-fourth quick while you do that.
If does not help, open chassis and re-apply fresh solder(remove old one with solder removal pump) over the volume pot terminals. While you re-applying fresh solder on faulty volume pot you can do same on healthy preventative.
You will find plenty of youtubes on how to properly apply solder. Tools are best to purchase at partsexpress.com
