Hello, first time posting to this forum. I recently picked up a Fender Deluxe 112 Plus from a pawn shop for $133. Thought it was a steal, had some cracking in the pots so I thought I'd bring it home and try to clean it up. So here's the story:

Brought amp home and disassembled. Used Deoxit from RS inside each of the pots and jacks (probably a little too much). Waited for a day and a half before reassembling the amp and firing it back up as there seemed to be some residual on the circuit board. (In that time I tried to speed up the process by spraying some canned air on the visibly wet parts and removing with a Q-tip).

Anywhoooo, fired the amp back up yesterday and it now seems to lack output power on both channels. There is some sound getting through and on the bright side, all the pots sound good now haha. I double checked the connections between the speakers and the reverb magnet and they all seem fine.

I plugged in to the power amp input jack and there was a lot more sound coming through the speaker. I'm new to DIY amp repairs and am trying to take this all in as a learning experience. Whether I take it to the shop and let them solve the problem, I just thought I'd throw the issue out here and see what you all have for advice.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks and Cheers!
