I serviced dozens of those in the '70s...

Most common problem was the cardboard amp to speaker coupling caps, no/weak sound if they are open... Ones that usually failed were orangish-yellow, large, approx size of C batteries but longer... Likely already replaced...

I'm thinking of models with seperate amp chassis, if it's all one unit, above probably doesn't apply...
