Very Poor Bass From Panasonic RE-787 AM-FM Stereo Radio

I have a very nice RE-787 (circa 1967-69). This radio looks and operates flawlessly except the bass is extremely shallow. My roommate in the Air Force (long ago!) had this exact radio and the bass was excellent. I've heard that some caps probably need to be replaced, and I have the Sams Photofact for this unit, but I have no idea which caps I would need to replace. The volume, bass and treble pots are clean and have absolutely NO scratchiness and even though the amplifier has low output (3) wattage, the sound output is very clean. Just weak bass.

I really like this radio, especially the cool signal seeking motorized tuning, so can anyone guide me on this? I could scan my Sams if you would need that. Thanks for any assistance here.
