Help, voltage problem!

I've rewetted those joints but to no avail. 


Update: I forced the pot counter clockwise, now i get no channel imbalance at low volume and the sound is even. Im contemplating whether or not the sound quality worsened or not

I'd see if you can source a 6080 locally.  They are an incredibly common tube, and should be available at an old time TV repair or general electronics repair shop.

Replaced the stock pot with alps blue velvet, balance issue is gone.
The stock pot drove me insane, you guys should give the option of purchasing a pot that isn't so crappy

Looking forward for the speedball .  Thanks for those who replied, especially PB.

Please let us know if you find a high performance potentiometer at a decent price that we can be 100-1000 of at a time.

(FYI - the PEC pot that is beloved on many forums actually has poorer channel balance than the pot we use, as does the dual 100K control that you can get at Radio Shack.  We also offer advice on how to add a 10 cent pair of resistors to solve the channel balance issue)
