First Timer: Pioneer SA-5200 left channel issue

I finally had a chance to hook this amp up today. It has beautiful right channel sound but the left channel plays poor sound at very low volumes and only pops along with the louder bass beat at higher volume. I get crackles and pops also as I turn the left volume up.

There is no balance knob on this amp, only separate volumes for left and right. The inner knob and inner pot(?) controls the left side .

This is my first time inside an amp and I could use some advice on how to proceed. Do I need to start taking this control apart? It looks daunting to me.
