Cruise control help

I have a 79 f250 and the cruise control suddenly quit working. Any ideas of commonly failure points I should check?

Fuse, dump valve, vacuum leaks, cable, slip rings, and switches.

I assume the issue is it will not engage.

Speed Control switches located in the horn pad (factory installed) or clipped to the T/S handle (dealer installed)?
