Clavinet D6 tone control not quite right

Hi, The Brilliant and Treble tone switches are all working but The Medium and Soft make no difference (there is still some sound when all the tone switches are off). Is it likely to be a faulty capacitor on the preamp or could it be down to the switch needing a clean? It sounds great as is but I'm sure I'm missing on some more tones.
The pick up selectors all works and the wiring is as per diagram and appears to be original, nothing seems to be shorting.
If it needs new capacitors, is there anything i should watch out for apart from the value? I'm in the UK, RS components has millions of cap types..
Thanks for any advice.

Hi :-)

The switches need cleaning. If all tone switches are off, the instrument should be silent.
