The volume control of the cheapie Sony "transistor" AM FM radio I

Could I try spraying it with something, and if so, what do people
recommend?

Even if not cost-effective, I hate to throw things away. Further, it
has the best FM performance of any small radio I have ever had.

You can try a spray. Try either caig deoxit or crc 2-36.
