Try replacing the 75 with a strong tube and go from there. The 75 is the first audio/2d detector tube, and the volume control feeds the grid of the 75 through a .01mFd cap.

It could also be a flakey solder joint on the lead near the clip, or the wire breaking internally near the clip, those are pretty common problems around a grid cap along with the cap itself.
