It was the electrolytics. Apparently they don't last as I long as I thought. These couldn't be more than about 10 years. I don't have any De-Oxit so,I sprayed the tuning capacitor first, then I had already sprayed the volume control but squirted a little WD-40 on the outside of the control. I need to swap out the tube contacts. Being a pipe smoker, I have plenty of pipe stem cleaners. Thanks for the suggestions. An alignment probably wouldn't hurt either.
