I would definitely say the issue is in the head and not the cab. If there's an issue with a speaker, it generally doesn't get better unless you turn down rather than up. I'm not a tech, but IME "fartiness" is often some issue with the gain structure.
Regardless, it's a transistor amp, so aside from soldering a disconnected cable, cleaning the pots and jacks, or switching a pre tube (didn't some of the Redheads have pre tubes in them?) it's probably tech time if you want to get the amp running right.

I know the HITE Co still sells contact cleaner and I imagine you can get it at radio shak or something too, probably just doesn't work as good as it used too.
