That channel most likly has a noisy transistor, or a coupling cap going bad, although the latter is rare.modern replacement transistor produce a much lower idle hiss/white noise factor than the orignals. if you are able to due the work yourself, you can change out all the preamp transistors on both channels for a cost of less than 10 dollars before shipping and have a much better sounding and less noisy amp.
