I have repaired a few of these and found the main reason for the same faults
as yours is CAPS. get yourself an ESR meter and chech the surface mounted
Electrolytic caps (ie the silver one's) these go very high ESR when
replaced your unit should work. do not fiddle with the adjustable pots that
is not the fault.
