If you can touch oe of the pickup leads with the gain off of zero, and get a loud hum, the amplifier is working, but the pickup is dead.

You'll need to find a ceramic cartridge as a replacement. Crystal pickups just don't live for a long time. Those RCA 45 players did have ceramic pickups in later models.
