As budm suggested, I switched pre/power jumpers and the symptom did switch channels.
However --
The guy who owned this before me must have been a shut-in who smoked 2-3 packs a day. The pre/power jumpers were covered in thick tar. I removed them and cleaned them thoroughly. I also took the time to (re) clean all pots and switches, just to be sure.
The problem seemed to correct itself at first -- I listened to music for an hour without incident, then it started again, same as before. The left channel hisses in a fading manner for about 2 seconds, then goes out completely.

Thanks for your time.

I'm not an audiophile. I'm a sound junkie, a music lover and a tinkerer - but definitely not an audiophile.
