Have you checked the output transistors in the dead channel to determine if either one is shorted?

Using the RCA shield for the reference (black meter probe on the RCA shield), measure the DC voltage on U2 in the center of the board and post them here. If you don't know how the pins are numbered, look up the datasheet for the IC. Also post the voltages on the outputs in the dead channel.

thanks perry,i just ordered your repair disc to get more educated on this subject,will post back....robert

Can you post the voltages on those points.
