One thing that comes to mind could be that the pots themselves have been overheated and damaged. If the previous owner had done as bad as it sounds, he very well could have damaged them.
I thought that 250K pots were used on P-90's but others on this site use 500K or even 1Meg for their pot values-higher values would allow more high end too....

And I also agree with the other posts that undoing everything and starting fresh is much easier for me than reheating connections. I will also replace the wiring in case there might be corrosion in there that is not obvious.
