I have the same question Bill does about your post, are you saying that when you pull out/ turn on the function that switch does that the function that switch section does in sound is intermittent, or just the action of touching that pot will make for crackle and noise?
If it's the latter then as Bill posted that pot could just need a cleaning, or it could be a bad solder connection from that pot to the board.

One of the problems with cleaning and lubing the pots in these post 1970 made amps is that they are soldered to the circuit board with the open slot you need to spray the cleaner/ lube into facing the board.

I have a old flexible hose I use to get in there , but you may just have to unsolder the pot from the board to have access to spray cleaning it out right..
