Slightly scratchy volume pedal...Goodrich H10K model...?

So I've got one of the Goodrich H10K active volume pedals and it's fantastic, just noticed a very slight scratchy noise though that I'm assuming is the volume pedal since it happens with the travel of the pedal, just wondering if people think this is definitely the pot or if a flat battery could be causing this also?

1. change the battery
2. spray the pot with electronics cleaner
3. change the pot

I bet you only get to the 2nd step. Once you start having to clean the pot regularly, then it's time to change it out. And I agree, those are great sounding pedals.

i agree. best pedal ever. i can't remember how many years ago i changed the battery, but try it anyway.
these pedals sound better than any electronic plug in annoyance device. i don't think i've ever changed the pot in 15-20 years. maybe i just
live a charmed life! and i don't even need my li'l izzy with this pedal...though i do use one on the occassion that i use my clip on pot pedal with the old emmons.
