John:
The bright channel "Bright" switch on a 200B is actually wired like a bypass switch on a stomp box. If the switch is dirty or corroded, you can lose signal. I find that if you spray a good quality contact cleaner into the small holes on the back of the switch and rotate it a few times, it will usually come back to life.

As to your distortion problem, it will change dramatically with the input signal source. What are you playing through the amp? It may also be power supply / filter cap related. If the filter caps are drying up, they may not be able to supply enough voltage to keep up with the demands of the power amp.
