well lemme see. it seems to me if you pull the pre/main jumpers on the back. and replace with rca jack cable's you can cross them and see if you have output on the missing channel. IF YOU SWITCH THE MISSING channel, then you know its NOT the main amp and further upstream. you could also use a meter set on mv scale and with the set running on one channel see if you have a difference on each channel on the pre amp jumpers to ground,each in turn, this would tell you the same thing. its crude but it should work.lots of switch contacts in that thing, it very well could be its a deoxit fix. i use d100 initially either with a nail polish brush or a syringe leave it sit overnight cycle the hell out of each switch and flush with d5. if its a success i lube with fader lube and the SHAFTS with singer sewing machine oil. repeat as necessary i just recapped re silica'd an 828.
