[R-390] Low Audio Problem Solved!

I finally discovered that the problem was with a broken wire to the
local audio pot. The particular terminal is supposed to have two wires
going to it. However, one had broken and had slipped up under the cable
lacing where it was not readily visible. Since I could see a wire going
to each of the three terminals, I thought everything was okay. Only by
using the schematic and testing every pin on the connector did I
discover that one was completely open. Jumpering the broken wire to the
correct terminal on the pot restored the audio.
I still have to clean up the wiring. The last person who replaced the
pots did a terrible soldering job, among other things. I have to decide
whether just to fix this with the old pots or wait until the new ones I
have on order arrive and swap them out.
Thanks to everyone who helped.
