Don’t just check the battery ground connections.
I had a similar issue with my 73 when I first bought it.
The cable connections were tight and the battery was new and fully charged.
I noticed a hint of corrosion around the cable right around the insulation.
I peeled the insulation back a little to clean it up and found that even though the cable looked to be in excellent condition it was almost completely corroded through under the insulation.
I replaced the cable and it solved my problem.
