Kenwood KR9600 receiver


I have a problem with my Kenwood KR 9600 receiver. The volume “surges” or gets intermittently loud when I am playing music through the phono inputs.  It does not happen in tuner mode.  Is this a capacitor or power supply issue?  I hope someone might be able to steer me in the right direction before I start trial and error replacement of components.

Thank you to anyone who has advice!

+1, on the cable.     If the problem doesn’t manifest, with any source but Phono; it’s not the power supply.     Try cleaning the selector switch, with a good contact spray.      There are a number of caps in the phono section, that could cause an issue, given the piece’s age.      Has the receiver ever had an overhaul (especially: electrolytic replacement), in the past couple decades?
