Realistic sta-790 with an odd problem

Hello all, I got in a realistic sta-790 with a very strange problem. The issue is the output being weak in one channel, but when pressing the "EQ bypass" button the issue swaps channels. The controls have all been cleaned properly and I haven't found any cold joints.

Has anyone else ever had this issue before? I'm trying to get a good idea of what to dig for instead of going in blind. I was also unable to find any schematics for this unit, so if anyone has them that would be great!

Best I can suggest is examine the solder on that and the other switches. Work the eq bypass switch several dozen times, see if anything changes.
 
I’ve got the same problem on the same model, did you ever figure out what the issue was. Deoxit does not seem to fix it.
