Some German sets make that band switch wafer dust and owner/repair tech tears...Which is part of the reason I only own 1 German tube radio out of the ~100-200 vintage radios in my collection. Many German sets develop weird problems centered on unobtanium parts.

It's a nice radio for 60$
I bet one beer the low volume is caused by a dead selenium rectifier and bad coupling caps. The ECL82 output tube which is usually used in tape recorders is reliable and if you need one they are easy to find.
Unfortunately the price is too high for this radio
