Your problem could be either a bad realy contact or simply some light corrosion on the relay contacts or pots.


I would suggest getting a can of DeOxit 5 in the spray can (I get mine through either Lord Valve at NBS Electronics or MCM Electronics, both on the web). This stuff works miracles on switch and relay contacts, as well as tube sockets, power sockets and Input/Output jacks (Phone & Phono variety).


I have used its predecessor (Cramolin Red) for over 20 years! IT is one of my secret weapons for amp repair, restoration and preventative maintenance!
