You hooked it up right.

What happens if you take the RCA plugs out of the receiver and touch the center live pin of the plug with your finger. You should get a buzz from each speaker in turn as you touch the prong. If not that amp is likely dead.

You could also try and connect another source to your amp.

That amp dates from 1977.

If you have your speakers connected to that external amp and they are making noise, then it's working.
