I don't know exactly what it was, but I did a bunch of resoldering and cleaned all the controls, and it seems to be working ok now. One thing I think was definitely contributing to it was a resistor (attached to the vert lin control) that was just barely tacked onto the terminal strip it attached to. I almost always seem to find a few goofy repairs like that in sets this old. I also (back when I was recapping) found two resistors that were replaced with ones that were an order of 10 off in value. In comparison, I almost never find stuff like that in sets from the mid-50s or newer.

I still have to clean the cabinet, glue that crack on the bottom, and maybe I'll try to make one of those backs...
