With all of the information that i have received from all of you knowledgable people, i agreed with the assessment that there must be a bad solder joint or such. Im sure you guys would have found this quicker but with just a multimeter and eyes this was hard to see. After going over every soldered joint and touching every cap resistor etc, i noticed that the ground bar on the equalizer board (im not sure that is what it is called) above R11 was broken, it had a hairline break, when i touched it with tweezers it came apart. I replaced it and now i am getting left and right sound on phono. Im sorry if i frustrated some of you while you were trying to help but sometimes i do not explain myself well enough causing questions and answers that were not necessary, in the future i will be very explicit with my answers. Its amazing that this could cause so many issues. thanks pete
