Dear All:

My wagon is fitted with the SC810 radio/cassette unit. I just found out that I can't hear sound coming out of the speakers on the right side. Thankfully, the culprit is not my right ear but it seems the main volume knob on the unit has gone bad. A random tap on the knob will sometimes give me full and clear stereo effect which lasts for a few moments, i.e., till I hit the next bump on the road.

Question is: Has anyone experienced such a problem? How difficult is it to open SC810 radios and do a fix? I am suspecting it is dirty contacts, loose solder connection or a bad potentiometer (in that order). Are there shops out there who fix volvo radios? OR, should i junk the SC810 and put in an aftermarket system? Any recommends on aftermarket systems preferrably a compatible tuner and cd-changer pair?

Thanks in advance for your help.

yona
