Sharp Gf-8989 - Only 1 Speaker Working

[anthonyschneider7777]

Hello All- I am looking at buying a Sharp GF-8989. The description on the item states the following-

"THE RIGHT SPEAKER IS NOT WORKING. THERE IS LOUD STATIC ON THE (RIGHT SPEAKER) WHEN THE VOLUME IS TURNED UP AND DOWN. THE ONLY DISTINCT SOUND COMES FROM THE LEFT SPEAKER, IT HAS A SLIGHT MUFFLED SOUND THOUGH."

Does anybody know what may cause such an issue? Would this be as easy as an inside wiring job, or grounding issue? Or could this get into circuitry and really complicated?

Any Advice is appreciated! Thanks

Cleaning all switch and pots should help. Use deoxit or other type of contact cleaner by spraying small amount inside then working switch/pot 20/30 times

Well that is where you start. Make sure you take unit apart because spraying through case only makes mess and doesn't get any of cleaner inside switch where it needs to be

Also try cleaning the record bar slider.
