Hi Joe

I just went through this on mine. The tech asked if both sides come through the eaephones. If it does, it is a good sign, although it took hime two hours to fix mine. I quess if it didn't, it would have been worse. In my case, 5 transisters were blown.

Of course, it could be a simple loose connection to the speaker. In either case, it is no simple matter to get in and out of this beast.
