Picked up a Tweaker 40 from GC and it's got an issue I am wondering if anyone might have some ideas on what to check.

Seems to not happen right away, but after its warmed up a bit on Ch1 only this static intermittently happens along with what is almost behaving like a noise gate. If I keep playing it's just the static and it doesn't cut out.
I put 3 new preamp tubes in and issue presents the same. Ch2 is solid so I don't see PTs as a possibility. The difference between the channels is the EQ toggles and each have their own Vol and Gain. Maybe the volume pot on Ch1 is flaking out? How could I measure or test that with a meter?
I have ton of time to take it back except my local GC is closed. Plus I end up losing shipping and at the end of the day I like the sound for what it is and what I want it for as a home practice option.
