Hi all, so over the weekend my trusty ka-70 started acting up. When playing, the left channel is very soft, you have to have the balance dial sitting at 9 o'clock for it to sound more or less balanced. It sound pretty much normal like this, there is no distortion i can hear but obviously something must have died.

Switching to mono brings both channels to the same level again, switching on loudness also helps matters a bit but the right channel is still a bit louder.

Doesn't seem to be an issue with the source, tape, aux, phono, tuner etc... all produce the same result.

Anyone had something similar happen, what should i check first?
