Default Akai gx365

I got this deck but it has a peculiar problem and I do not know where to start.

It is a 4 track Auto reverse deck and also has inbuilt amplifiers. It is a 3 head deck and the Play head is moved into a lower position when playing in reverse.

It plays/ records fine. but when you press the reverse the reverse button, it plays in reverse but much faintly from the right channel.

It is obviously not the head because the head picks up 2 tracks and plays fine in forward and not in reverse.

the tape is also fault free, flipped it over, same problem.

Relay bad? Capacitor bad? Switch bad? in the reverse circuit?
