Humming in stereo ?

[Johnnyjuicebox]

Hey guys im new here Trying to figure out what would cause one speaker to barely work and humm in stereo but work fine in mono ? That is also only occuring when i play a tape, listening to the radio everything works fine in stereo .

Cheers

It maybe the caps for the op amp (cassette input is low level). Try pressing rec / stop 30 times to rule out the record bar.

Thanks for your reply, i just tried and seems like the humm got away but one speaker is still barely working in stereo while working perfectly in mono.

Hey Wes, it's a Candle JTR 1286

have you tried switch cleaner spray in the function buttons. spray some in and flick them up & down a few times..they do loose contact & tarnish over time

With tape problems it is always recommended to look at the record bar. Press the rec button a few to 30 times with a blank cassette inside.

Definitely give hitting record 30 times a shot. Just tried this for the same issue on my TRC-931 and problem solved. Love this forum.

All it did was what Hopey recommended, clean the oxide off the switches/selector. Open it up and give the components a proper cleaning.
