Yamaha C-2 missing Bass

I am considering buying a Yamaha C-2 preamp and B-2 power amp. The feedback on them from a post I made a couple of days ago in Vintage Asylum has been very positive but I have another question so I though that I’d try a different asylum in case I reach a few more experts.

At present, the preamp output drops off progressively below about 200 hz with output voltage down to about 25% by 30hz. The bass tone control can correct for this quite well but the amount of correction needed is different on each channel.

If this is something I can fix at low cost, I will buy it, assuming that I can deal with some minor problems in switch contacts and potentiometers. It seems worth a bit of trouble because the sound is very good and the preamp looks almost new.

Is anyone familiar with this kind of loss of bass? Any ideas what might cause it and what might be involved to fix it?

I would also appreciate feedback on any of the other questions from my previous post. See link below.

Regards

David
