Hello I just picked this console up the other day for dirt cheap. The record player works but only comes out the right speaker which sounds completely blown, nothing out of the left. Most importantly the radio doesn't work on any of the channels. Curious if anyone can help me out with what I could replace to get this thing working again, it's a beautiful piece!

All the tubes light up so I'm pretty sure those are fine

Thanks

Hello, congrats on your find. Do the easiest things first: deoxit the tube pins and the piano key switches. To access the switch contacts you may need to unbolt the chassis from the underside to slide it forward. Take pictures of any connections you undo.

I have the chassis out, where to I spray the deoxit?
 
If you have spray, put some in a bottle cap. Take the tubes out one at a time and dip the pins in the deoxit, then reinsert the tube a few times in the socket it came from.

For the piano keys you’ll need to get up under and look for where the contacts are and spray them as you work the switches.

You can also hit the volume pot and the tone controls by spraying in the opening where the connections are.
