Re: Why is the volume on my right channel so low?!

When I said "Hobbyist", what I should have said was fan on the sidelines with dreams of playing

While I have a soldering iron, and passable skill with it, I have a cheap analog multimeter (which I will be replacing with a digital auto) and definitely no oscilloscope, not the skill to use one. My electronics experience comes from building and working on RC cars, so I'm a baby in your world.

I would be able to replace a part if it was identified, but I dont have a background in electronics...

Hey guys, new poster and hobbyist.

I have a Sony STR-k502p that I thought had a blown front right channel. After taking it in my shop and doing some problem solving steps I identified that it was not completely out, it was just running at about a quarter the level as all the others. I swapped sources, input channels, checked balance levels, yet it was always the front right at a much lower level than any of the other channels.

What do you guys think is the issue? I popped open the case and cant visually identify any obvious flaws.
