If it don't work, What do you have to loose?
If it were me - I would unplug it, take it apart to see if you can see something wrong first.It may be just a switch. It could be dirty contacts too.

had that happen to My late Dad's 50 year old buzz box, the knob, lever, switch, or what ever you want to call the amp selection switch had a nylon shaft that ran from the lever thought the sheet metal case. over time the heat had weaken the nylon shaft, what I did was to drill the nylon shaft then put a wooden dowel pin in it has benn working for bout 20 years that way.

Jacob, If you've check the price for the amp control you probably noticed that for a low end unit, it sure has an expensive controller. Moviable core/coil types have far less pricy control knobs. The controller for the tapped coil type, however, are a fortune relatively.
