    Long story short, was using a crap soldering iron and the joints weren't great. Randomly the left channel stopped working. I got a better one, changed the rca port and soldered everything together, but now there's still no left channel. I've switched RCAs on the receiver and pretty much isolated...

    I’ve taken apart my Mitsubishi, added new headshell wiring etc… I don’t understand how it connects to the sound board… I see the left and right channel Caps… The schematic shows the ground and channel wires go to muting switch, then it looks like it goes to the RCA terminals.

    Rewiring a transformer, using single insulated wire over double insulated?

    Pioneer thought it would be a fantastic idea to wire-wrap the transformer to the PCB. So, unfortunately, my only choice here is to undo the wire-wraps in order to remove the PCB. The problem is that the brittle 37 year old wire is now not long enough for me to create a new wire-wrap connection...
