I might get that service manual, Alan, but at about £16 it's a trifle expensive. Nick, thanks for the info re. the IR2E I.C. At least I can rule that out. As to testing, I injected 1Khz from my AF Generator at the Volume control, which produced full volume from both channels (about 8 wpc into 8 ohms). I haven't yet tried to monitor the o/p from the cassette deck, so maybe that's the next step. The deck is a front loading, solenoid operated type, and, apart from being a little sluggish starting, runs O.K. Whether the fact that the stereo has been stored in a cellar for several months, and was working before then has any bearing on the cause of the fault I know not.
