Could be carbon wipers on the volume pot or balance as Phil(Picard) has mentioned. Problem is spraying electrical cleaner down the spindle often doesn't reach the wipers. If you're handy with a screwdriver you can lift the lid and take the pot out, prise the back off them and clean the wipers directly.
It would easier to find the problem if you dismantled the unit, waited for the channels to fail and poked around with a multimeter to see where they go dead. Don't do that unless you have a clue about the potential dangers lurking inside.
Should have read your post properly, intermittent static would be difficult to diagnose with a multimeter.
