Title: left channel cut out
Post by: moviedave on March 21, 2013, 05:53:41 AM

The left channel on my crack just went out.  I have been testing new input tubes, so I have a feeling that is where the problem is.  What is odd is that when I plug my headphone in half way, I get sound from both channels.  The LCD's still both light up.  This weekend I am going to go over all my solder joints again, and I am sure that is where the  problem lies.  I thought I would ask in case someone had this issue before and it ended up being something else.

Both headphone drivers work when the cable is plugged part way in because you are shorting the tip and the ring of the headphone plug to the working channel.

Can you go back to the last known set of working tubes?

If the tubes are not the issue, please post voltages and resistances.
