So last night we're listening to my stereo. I'm cleaning and spinning records with the kids and trying out a pair of speakers for my daughter's "new" stereo. Switch the wires at the speakers. Switch back and something's funny in the right channel, like intermittent loss of signal. Then the R speaker cut out when in stereo mode.
I have an Ultra EC so I press the Mono L and Mono R buttons and sure enough, the Mono R has no signal out of either speaker and Mono L has equal signal out of both. In stereo, turning the balance to the R has nothing coming out of the speaker.
Checked all the connections, but didn't try using a different source.
Guess tonight I'll check it again, try the tuner or CD player, check the fuses, remove the cover and check the tubes. It's bothering me today at work thinking about it so I thought I'd "defuse" and post here.
There. I feel better.
