It is the volume control that needs replacing. It's a very common
problem in most audio circuits of that age and the design of the control
doesn't help. No need to bin the preamp, just find another volume
control. Maplin will sell something suitable for around £2-3.

Erm... IIRC the Quad 34 uses a special version of the Alps 40mm detent
stepped pot/attenuator. I doubt you will find one from Maplin for 2-3 quid!
( If so, it is about time I sent them an order for a dozen. :-) )

Slainte,
