Help, please!

My much-loved 30 year old A60 has recently developed a fault, but
having no electronics experience, I have no idea how to diagnose it.
If anyone can at least give me a clue, and an idea of how easy it might
be to repair, I would be very grateful.

The symptoms are that the left channel, after the amp has warmed up
distorts very badly. This is only when using the loudspeakers - the
headphones output sounds fine.
The symptoms are the same from any source, using either the switched or
non-switched terminals - I've also swapped speakers to confirm that the
left speaker has not developed the fault.

Thanks in advance for any advice - I really don't want to dump this
amp...



There is a service manual for this amp he

I realise that it might not mean much to you, but it could be invaluable
for someone trying to diagnose the problem. It may be worth your while
to print it out then take it to a local electronics "bod" to have a look
at.

Thanks for taking the time, it's much appreciated! I had found that site
earlier tonight, and thought "this might prove useful to someone that
knows what they are doing" - just got to find the local electronics bod
now...

Cheers,
Ade.
