Sure makes it sound like an oxidation/contamination issue. Base radios with a perforated top cover will get this way after a few decades. Trimpots toward the front end of the circuit board won't have any environmental dust/schmoo on them. But the same type trimpot at the rear will be visibly rusty or crusty or both.

Any chance it rode in a dump truck just a bit too long?
