For the scratchiness on the volume pot, giving it a good clean with some deoxit or electronics cleaner / lube can do wonders for it and get rid of the scratchiness.....
As for speakers, I have a set of Altec Lansing speakers (off-white with a grey screen) that comes with the left and right table / shelf speakers and a really nice sized poweredd sub. They sound really really nice when playing music and games....this is them:

Also have a couple pairs of Harmon Kardon's that are just the L and R speakers and they also sound great. They look like these but are white:

Vintage Stereo Wise, that is a great idea.....I have an old 1977 Pioneer Receiver / Amp I am restoring and nice new speakers in the original 1977 Pioneer Wooden Boxes (about 3 ft high each) that I could hook into one of my retro systems...but what do you do to get the speaker wire that would be needed for the old speakers converted to RCA so you could use an RCA to Headphone style adapter and plug that into your computer?
