I had one repaired; I believe it was some type of discriminator coil which was the culprit. It cost me $75 to fix the one, when the second TV displayed the same weak audio symptoms, I donated it to charity.
I worked on a few of those sets with weak audio. All it took was a touch-up of one of the audio coils. I don't know why they drifted off so bad.
I have to look for my square alignment tool again.
