Hey, guys. I'm new here, I've only had my M70 for a couple of weeks (been enjoying every minute) and I ran into a problem today.
While listening to a cassette, suddenly the left channel stopped working. Actually, I thought the speaker died, but then I tried playing the radio, just to be sure. Radio plays strong and without problems, i switched from left to right, everything was OK.
With my inexistent electrical knowledge, I'm asking for help. Could it be something concerning the stereo signal in the cassette player? The cassette I played before left channel "died" had a very low frequency bass part, that shouldn't be a problem and I played that cassette before, a couple of times. I just thought I'd mention that, although it might not be important. VU meter doesn't work on the left channel, but when I play the radio - yes, you guessed it, works without problems. Even moves when I turn the boombox on, so the meter is working, the speaker is working, but NOT while a cassette is playing.
Also, I'd like to mention that I've cleaned the head, pinch roller and capstan a week or so ago, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Any help appreciated...
