In my Pengo , when you turn the volume knob all the way down the sound is still really loud , and when you turn it up it gets insanely LOUD !

Is this a wiring problem or do I need to replace the volume knob ?
 
Sounds like either the pot is going bad, or it has the incorrect pot installed.
 
You need to spray the control out with some volume control cleaner/lube chemical.

I use MG Chemicals' Nu-Trol Volume Control Cleaner catalog number 401B-140g (barcode 779008401149) www.mgchemicals.com

Your local electronics parts jobber should stock this. Otherwise it can be ordered online. You can also use Radio Shack # 64-4315 control cleaner.

If spraying the control out does not help, then the control will need to be replaced.
