Hi
I have had a Beolab 5000 and Tannoy 3LZ speakers which I bought circa 1972 so now over 50 years ago The speakers have been recovered due to cat claw sharpening but are still going strong. The 5000 has been gradually showing signs of ill health over a number of years now. All the lights are out now (literally) and most of the input selection buttons are now defunct but there are 3 left working. I mainly play iTunes via an output from the lap top though I can play CDs.
Anyway recently the right speaker made a bit of a popping noise and lot of crackling. I initially thought the speaker was the problem but after swapping things around it appears the amp is not now chucking anything out through the right channel.
Very oddly after swapping the inputs around to ascertain what was going on the red on button became lit but has since gone off again.
Anyway despite many of the issues with the amp I am loath to consign it to the tip or recycling centre.
Given that the only issue I really need sorting is output to the right channel how straightforward a fix would this be for someone with the necessary nous to find the way round the amp and the service manual. I know I would have no chance !!
Thanks for reading this rather sad and overlong posting.
What does anyone think ?
