Here are a couple of easy things to try just to see if they make any difference.

Since it looks like someone "improved" this unit by adding a fuse and a grounded power cord, try lifting the green wire off the chassis and see if there is any difference.

You can also try disconnecting one end of the .05 cap that is going to ground.
