Stereo static?

[AceFrehley03]

My '85 Mark VII has the Ford Premium Stereo (don't know if this is an option of it all did) AM/FM/CASS. The stereo works fine, except when I turn the volume up or down there is a crackling noise, like static, while I'm turning the knob. What is this, besides annoying?

Its just static. It was mentioned on the Mark VIII boards a while back that a good way to cure this was to get some "anti-static" spray from Radio Shack, remove the knob, and put a little in there.

Go search the Mark VIII boards, I might have messed up the story a bit. :0

It's more-than-likely dust and dirt built up behind the knobs. Pull them off and clean them thoroughly. That should cure it.

Dear god, it sounds so difficult. :rolleyes:

Thanks guys. The list of problems is now in the single digits.
