Could be. Phase shift caps are another common failure point in tremolos. Keep it working or keep it all original... at some point a choice has to be made.

I've always been fascinated by this particular amp, probably more so than any other SSS, because it was the only SSS originally built as a combo and with tremolo.
I really hope who ever owns it decides to send it to someone who can restore that circuit to working order. Seems like a pity to see an unique piece of HAD's works not functioning fully.
I know a partial layout was posted of it a while back, along with some discussion about how the trem circuit worked. Did anyone ever try to build their own clone of this amp?

This is an Overdrive Special played by Lap Steel player. I don’t know what gear the pedal Steel player is using.

Almost certainly a well loved late '60s drip-edge Princeton Reverb and a small tangle of pedal board ..

Hear here. That went without saying, but as you've shown goes even better said.

Best ..
