Technics SU-V96 Volume & Balance Button Issues

So I recently picked up a Technics SU-V96 Amp and a Technics ST-S96 Tuner for a decent price, but has an issue with the electronic volume up/down and balance buttons. The volume buttons are very sporadic with how they work and won't turn up and down the volume very easily whatsoever and sometimes when trying to change the volume either direction it changes the balance settings, and I also notice when I change the balance to dead center after a few seconds will light up the far left section only and not in the center where I set it just before, I've noticed in every pic and video I've found online that they all have the far left section for the balance lit up and not in the center, is this normal for the model and am I reading too much into where the balance display is? I ask cuz it seems to be producing sound evenly thru both channels to the speakers and what can I do with the volume button issues since it is electronic, I've only dealt with volume pots and cleaning those with deoxit and electronic cleaners before so I'm lost as to what I can do to fix that, or is it just a circuit board issue?

Probably a connection issue with the circuit boards. You'll need to pull the face plate off and have a look at the connectors and solder joints. Also see if the little tact switches still have some feel left in them.
