Finished my crack all test were good resistance readings on 1,2,4,5 and 13 would just keep climbing guess this normal? Anyway plugged everything in and no left channel black rca. Swapped rca around same thing but if I pull up male rca a little it works. Connection looks good is it possible i got it to hot? This is a stock crack as of now. Thankd

What are your voltages?

Can you explain what you mean by this?  Do you get no sound from the left channel of your headphones?

If you pull the headphone plug part way out, you will short the right and left headphone drivers to the right output of the Crack, so there isn't any useful information there.

It's most likely that you have a bad solder joint, or potentially perhaps a solder bridge across the left RCA jack.  How are the resistance readings on the center pins of the RCA jacks?

Got 95.8 on both center pins and 0 on ground tab. Yes on sound on left in headphones. Headphone plug is all the way in first thing I checked. I'm talking about rca coming from my source the rca closest to edge of top plate. Plugged all the way in no sound pull up on rca  cable on that rca Jack and have sound. Sorry so confusing

I will try probably be tomorrow. What you think about my voltage readings?

Looks like a working amp.  That narrows things down to either the input wiring (RCA jacks to pot) or the output wiring (terminals 6-10/headphone jack).

Stuff like this can totally short out a channel if it allows the center pin of the RCA jack to touch the outside.

If you have a pair of side cutter type wire cutters, you can just cut any of that schmoo right off the jack.

Looks like I need to replace a rca Jack which ones should I get? Just want to make sure they will fit in top plate. Thanks
