CG left channel out

Post: # 22932Post Hydrolastic »

Hello Guys. So turned on the 60 CG and the left channel has gone quiet. Couple of things to note. I unplugged the rca input plug from the right amp and there was no noise on the left side.(no hiss ,clicking, or static ) I also swapped L and R leads from my bluetooth adapter and both channels worked. Both amps are lit up on the tubes. Where to start ? Hydro

Hydro, are you saying by swapping leads on your Bluetooth adaptor the CG worked on both channels or the Bluetooth adaptor was working? Have you tried playing the radio and record player to see if either of them plays through all channels?

Are both amps on the left channel quiet? First suspect is always a switch. Function switch, external speaker switch. Next suspect is a Molex plug/connector. That is a chronic problem with Magnavox bi-amps as they age. My CG isn't so bad, but every time I run the Imperial, it seems like something isn't working, usually the treble amp on Channel 1.
A good leader is someone who can tell you where to go, and make you look forward to the trip.

Never allow someone who has done nothing to advise you on anything.

Hello guys, Sorry for the late reply. I have been madly trying to get a house project done as my wife is out of town. I think you may have it nailed the molex plug, This is the strange one we talked about and I don't think it is connecting correctly. Will look at it closer.
