that doesn't sound like a fuse problem at all. if it needed a new fuse, it wouldn't power up. (the light wouldn't come on)

sounds more like a poorly connected input jack or a dirty potentiometer to me.

My first amp was a Marlboro, bought new ca. 1979/80. It was a decent amp for me in my HS jazz band. It wouldn't surprise me if your amp has 30-odd years of accumulated gunk built up in it.

a potentiometer is a 'pot' which is one of your volume or tone controls, but my guess is that you have an intermittent input jack.
