Seems to be leading towards that, especially if it was only one side.
Anyway, the usual suspects - power supply, electrolytics (the 1 microfarads), paper caps, then resistors.

I would start by checking the 25 volt supply, then check all voltages in the preamps. If 25 volts bad, fix it first. Then if internal voltages bad, check the 1 microfarad caps, then...
