Hi,
I hope someone here can help me out. I was just curious about a strange issue that I've been meaning to ask about. I have a Panasonic RX-C60 (from 1982) that I bought a few years back locally. It was in really good low use condition and worked beautifully for a number of months. I then noticed that it developed a distortion or crackling sound in the left speaker whenever I played something, whether it be through cassette , radio or its inputs. I tried swapping speakers, it was always on the left side, so it had to be something internal I thought. I then recently recalled that it was the EXACT same problem that my Panasonic RX-CW55 had experienced when I bought it new back in 1987 when I was still in high school. It was fine for about 4 or 5 years and then the left speaker started to distort, exactly as the C60. I recall taking it to a local repair shop, twice, and they could never fix it. These were exactly the same problems across two different models. The question is what could this have been? Sorry that I don't have a video to show, as the 87 model I sold many years ago and the 82 model I have packed up somewhere, waiting for the moment to maybe fix it. I just wanted to know if you guys have heard of anything like this and what it could be?
