Panasonic RE-7430: Right Speaker Channel Dead - Almost Silent

Sat, 08 Mar 2025 07:26:25 -0700

I just recently picked up an old Panasonic RE-7430 stereo thing, but with the tuning dial and stereo indicator completely dead. I thought the rest of the system didn't work, but it actually did. However, only the left channel works and no sound comes out of the right. I replaced the lightbulb behind the tuning dial, and the stereo indicator, so now both work. However, I can hear a small click through the right speaker whenever the stereo indicator light turns on, and some quiet and tinny version of whatever I'm listening to if I use the balance to turn off the left channel and turn the volume all the way up, but nothing else. This means that the balance slider basically just works like another volume slider for the left channel! When I plug in headphones, both the left and right channels work, but the stereo is a little dodgy from old balance and volume sliders. I'm not sure what's causing the right speaker channel to not work, may I please get some help?

Thanks so much!

I've opened the unit, CD loads and 'snaps' in place but will not spin despite being snapped/ loaded in place. Display will not show the number of songs on CD - it shows up as 00? All fuses were tested and all registeed as working.

The receiver in question is not outputting sound well through the left front and rear ones, and the only thing that will come out of the right channels are a power hum.
