Nothing stood out. Guess tear it apart resolder all the joints and check all the pins. Anyway to just go right to volume pot skip all the rest?
It's better (and usually faster) to find the actual problem, so you can decide how best to deal with it.
A scope would make things much easier.

ugh now I have more problems. I took it apart again removed whole tone board inspected it thoroughly and touched up anything iffy. I must plugged volume motor pot in wrong spot and powered it up and smoke fest. I thoght thee plugs were dummy proof I was wrong. Getting a replacement pot is hard seeing cant seem to find exact one. ughhhh
An old tip from a disappeared repair workshop:
When you are not sure you remember exactly the connections, always take a photo before removing a panel.
Good luck...
I know, I always do. Not sure what the heck I was thinking. It was a bit of a rush job. I plugged one of the connections in the wronp spot. When I turned it on I got flaes from the Volume pot. I had the face plate fully off I wanted to see if any improvement before putting it all back together first. I really did it now. Was hoping to find a picture online of the connections and where they go. All but a couple of them are different sizes so as not to put in wrong slot i presume.
