Take it to a repairman.

Could be as simple as an old failed solder or could be much more complicated.

Old amp? ......electrolytic caps. Keep your fingers crossed on the transformer question. This is one good reason for recapping old amps.....to save the transformer. The other reason is to hear good sonics.
