I see the manual is online for the GC1000.
The 1KHZ tone decoder may be suspect in that its drifted off frequency. Its
a little ne-567 chip with a pot.
ne 567s were never all that great...

567's are not too bad, not "precision", but not bad.

Small pot's are not great for long term stability either, especially if
the track/wiper is exposed.

Exactly they are the small open air pots.
Just one possibility along with the other good suggestions mentioned.
