This one had severe distortion in both channels until I discovered the speaker fuse was missing (see page 5, post #68, this thread).
I wrapped up a 700-T a few evenings ago after tracing a channel imbalance to the volume control.
And I had previously started a thread on a 170 that has distortion in both channels with speakers but plays fine through headphones. I had set it aside last summer and more or less forgot about it. Maybe I should get it out and try to figure it out again.
