It was working ok and then the volume suddenly dropped to about half that it
should be, the potts have been cleaned and are not noisy.

The radio picks up all the channels it did previously but it is quiet and
turning the volume pott up or down does pretty much nothing.

Could anyone point me in the general direction of which component/s to look
for as the culprit/s?

Based on what you're describing, the first place I'd look would be the
heater of the output amp tube. Betcha a nickel the filament died...
