Rotel RA-1212 Integrated question

Hi all. I purchased this beauty at a goodwill for $10 and for the most part it works really well. It is a beast with dual power transformers. It weighs a ton too. I haven't been able to find much info about the unit online but I think it is 100 watts per channel.

The only problem that it has is that the left channel has a slightly lower output than the right. I can balance this by moving the balance to that side at around two or three on the dial.

Here is what I have done to try to fix this. I have switched around the inputs, speaker wires, and tried it on different inputs. I went to Lowe's and bought some electronics contact cleaner. I have sprayed all of the selectors, knobs, etc. a couple of times and they are smoother but is still hasn't worked.

Should I purchase some deoxit to do this again? If so, I will do that. Or, is there something else that this could be?
Thanks in advance

DeOxit will almost certainly be better than that unnamed stuff you have used. Spray it on the switches (not the pots) work them a few times - then leave it overnight.
