sony TA-1010 volume issue

[pezza89]

hi all, i got a sony ta-1010 today from a garage sale, its in great condition however no volume occurs until about the half way point (i would expect more volume at this point too) and anymore the sound becomes a little distorted. Any ideas what could be causing this? both channels seem to be equal and all pots were cleaned and checked. Appreciate any help!! Thanks! Andy

I dont Know this mdel but check that the tape monitor is off! Also check that there is no pre-power amp links missing
other than that Have you tried all inputs

hi there, tape monitor is definately off and it doesnt have any preamp links on the rear - volume only appears to work at the halfway point and beyond using the AUX function - i'll try tape and phono tonite to see if its occuring in those inputs also and give an update! Cheers!
