Grundig V1700 repair?

Hello Massimo,
I wonder if you can help with the V1700?
There is no sound coming out of the left hand channel, the fuse is fine, the problem occurs on all line level inputs, when I turn the volume up high I can hear some very distorted output from the left channel.
What could be the problem?

Hello George
The problem is that it has broken down and must be taken to a repairman who will make the diagnosis of the problem and then repair it. It is not possible to diagnose remotely.

OK my repair man said that while he has the board out of the amplifier he will do a recap… is it OK if a recap is done on this special amp to keep it going for more years ahead?

I would avoid a unnecessary recap on the V1700 but the most serious thing is that (which is often done by repairers) to raise the bias current of the amps over the service manual standard.
