Static, volume control, radio
Anyone know how to resolve an issue im having with my radio/cassette player? The volume knob is really staticy and the speakers go in and out of working when trying to adjust the volume.

Spray a little electronic cleaning spay into the volume control shaft, pull the knob, WD40 works too. I use a piece of a plastic straw to cover the shaft while spraying it in. Then turn knob back/forth reapetidly. That should clean it up, repeat as necessary till its working properly.

You might have to pull the stereo out to do it well, but kojo's advice is spot on. You have something like the pic, which has some sliding contacts inside. You need to get the contact cleaner into it. Sometimes it wicks in nicely, other times you have to get it up close and personal.
