I have a 4 slot MVS board, I was messing around with this audio pot on my megalo 410 and trying to get it right as I have been working to restore this sucker... Something happened and the actual board when using the volume slider past a certain point makes horrid noises. If I have it low, it sounds fine. I recapped this board, so audio was good, maybe I blew the amp or a cap? Any idea what specifically would caused a corrupted audio issue via the slider?

You can try DeOxit on the slider. The deoxit spray probably. If it's just a bad slider that can help. Also you could measure the resistance while moving the slider to see if the readings are erratic in certain spots.

If the amp overheats it has gone bad...Is your amp real hot to the touch? If so,it will need to be replaced.
