Says only 1 channel works. Where should I start. Going to attempt a fix and clean up to sell for a friend What I put into it. Needs a tuner knob as well.

Doesn't look too bad. The channel might be flakey because of dirty switches, so start with deoxit.

The switch clean up easy fix would be cool

Either that or the connector plug simply fell out.

Either that or the connector plug simply fell out.

I've worked on 2 of these already & there are 2 plugs that connect the speakers tot the amp out & each plug has both left & right channels for the speakers. On 1 of mine the connector was loose fitting & the left channel would cut in & out on the outer woofers. If 1 channel is gone on both inner & outer speakers, it can't be a connector. When you open it up try wiggling the connectors but be careful while you have live juice running through it. It could also be a shorted voicecoil in 1 speaker that is shunting the signal & preventing the channel from working.

I got $5 that says this will be an easy fix!

Deoxit the switches and let us know...Great Price!
