I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron, but I'm betting this one's
beyond me.

Picked up a used Yamha 01V mixing console for $350. Channel 11 has
issues. It will not allow any signal to pass until it hits about 80%
of the fader (as you fade to the top of the fader), then it comes in
full force. It also won't move (motorized) through the section where
it won't register.

When in the 20% of the fader that works, it's flawless... but... I'd
rather have all 12 faders working perfectly.

Any ideas what could cause this? Any thoughts on a fix? I have some
Caig Deoxit, which I was going to try tonight, but I'm fairly certain
it's not just a dirty fader... although I could be wrong, I suppose.

There is a local repair center that thinks they can replace it for
around $150. Seems a bit steep for a simple fader replacement,
especially if I could do it myself, but, that motorized portion makes
me think this could potentially be beyond my skill set/knowledge base.

Thanks, folks! Any input is greatly appreciated!
