i need to replace this part because whenever i turn the knob it produces a loud cracking sound trough the speaker. any idea what this is called?
 
rather than replace, try cleaning it first.

you can use a spray "tuner cleaner" but I use WD-40 most of the time.

WD-40 is abrasive, so it will clean the contacts.

Do not use A LOT, just a couple drops.

Drip it into the control at the solder connections, work the control back and forth a couple times, and if this does not work, then replace the control.
