Pioneer CK-3 sound on the right only

[LLopez]

Hi fellas hope ya can help, I just got this Pioneer CK-3 boombox it sounds great on both sides of the amp right and left when using the tuner but when I play a cassette it plays only on the right side only no sound comes out of the left side, I sprayed contact cleaner everywhere I even recorded rewind and then press play and still no luck. I wish it would be a simple fix. Any suggestions as always I'll really appreciate them all .

Check the head of the deck for loose connections. Also check the ribbon cable between the reciever and the deck to make sure it's not damaged or missing any pins at the receptacles.

Well the problem with the sound is fixed, But now the tape deck has stop playing it doesn't even record anymore, I guess I press play and record to many times so it only rews and ff but no play or record. It defeanetly got to be a belt. Has anyone opened one of these before and rebelt it and is it tight in there or is pretty basic? Thank u all for your support my friends.
