I've noticed recently that my LX-5 when played with any sort of Dolby NR off, the output is significantly weaker in the right channel than the left. Curious as to what could be causing this dropout.
 
Not sure if these get Orange cap disease. I'll assume it's original? 30 years is past it's designed life-time, so it could be an easy adjustment, or a re-cap job.

It's actually been refurbished at some point, replacing the dreaded orange capacitors in the process. So, that's kind of why I'm confused as to why this issue has recently popped up. Was hoping it was possibly an easy fix.
