    Welcome Carlos! We're looking forward to pictures.

    You mentioned in reply to @Ar9Jim that you would get the distortion at idle while sitting still and when adjusting the volume. That may indicate that the issue may be more/other than the pot. As cleaning a dirty pot as you've now done is pretty often successful, perhaps it's time to get the whole unit to a skilled shop for repair? An added benefit is that you could also have the whole unit checked against spec, service bulletins applied, and any questionable components replaced so that you could get many years of enjoyment from it.

    Nice! They will love the power from that M-400

    Welcome Bob! That's going to be a nice sounding workshop...what are you planning for speakers?

    Welcome! That MXR-150 is a nice piece of equipment. I have one in my 'to-be-restored' pile. If you have time, share some pictures and let everyone know how the restoration is going.

    Welcome! Those 686's are nice speakers for a smaller space. The C2 & M500T should really make them perform.

    Welcome! If you haven't already found them, TCS has many of the Carver service manuals in the 'Manuals and Specsheets' pulldown at the top of any page.

    Welcome @BigC3103! Glad you found the service manual - keep us posted on your progress.

    Welcome! Regarding MOSFETs, they have some advantages at high frequencies and in terms of efficiency although they can be a bit picky to bias, but in any well-designed audio amplifier circuit, using MOSFETs or BJTs should produce really nice output. Good luck with the search for some DCM speakers. How much space do you have? The large floor standing models like the TF400s sound great but they do take up a lot of space.

    A year is nothing, lol Glad you've been successful!
