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. I would
solder it in or get a friend who can - you will save a fortune.

I'd be very surprised if Maplin sell a suitable replacement.
