Hi all. I've had this Yamaha CA-610 for a while now and it hasn't got much attention. I'm on holidays for the next few weeks and I'd like to get it running in good order if I can.
The issue is the right channel is distorted. I've swapped the speakers through A and B, and swapped them over left and right, it's not the speakers. I've tried every input, phono, aux, tuner, tape, it's the same in every one, right channel distorted. I've opened it up and sprayed a ton of deoxit and turned all the knobs. It works fine through headphones though, no problems there so hopefully that narrows it down a bit.
I've taken a video so you can hear it and understand what I'm talking about. In the video I turn the balance from left to centered to right so you can hear the left and then the right on it's own. You can also see the meters in the video (which I will need to fix the globes at some stage).
Now I'm not the most knowledgeable on the insides of vintage audio, but I'm a keen learner and good at following instructions. I have the manuals and schematics from http://akdatabase.com/AKview/thumbnails.php?album=3&page=4 so if anyone has ideas where to look I can find the places using these.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
