Well, pretty gutted as I unplugged everything, opened it up and gave a good clean. Fed an audio signal into both the tape and cd in and heard everything clearly through the headphones. Great! I thought. Then I tested with the speaker cables into the rear. Left channel fine, right channel absolutely no different. Plugging the red + of the right speaker cable seemed to exacerbate the problem, even affecting the headphone signal. Unplug the right speaker cables and normal L and R signal through headphones.

I didn't notice any blown fuses (ie, black glass) and they were holding with good tension.

Any clues as to what to try next folks ?
