MX113 Low Left Channel

Hi all.
Just finished replacing all of the important capacitors on my MX113. I did not change any transistors, I do not have experience diagnosing transistor issues. Working great with two caveats:

- A low hiss on both channels. Happens on both Aux and Tape inputs, and both Main and Tape outputs.
-It does change when raising volume, but is not consistent all the way through.
-Assuming it has something to do with the VC. I have hit it with deoxit and exercised already, and I have some Faderlube coming tomorrow.
-I disassembled the VC to fix the power switch section (successfully) and nothing seemed to be broken or TOO dirty.

-Left channel is a bit more dull than the right channel. Just doesn’t seem to match at all frequencies, mostly in mids and highs. I can adjust with the treble and bass knobs, but the hiss raises in volume with the treble knob.

When I got it, it wouldn’t power on so I started with caps before realizing it was the power switch, so I’m not sure. Surely not my best move but here we are
