Hi all,
New here but not new to forums. I was going to post this on one of my Toyota forums, but I think this may be specific to internal radio issues.
My 1987 4Runnner has a stock Technics tape deck in it. In AM, it sounds great but in FM, only the right side speakers work. I can faintly hear sound from the left speakers if I crank the volume knob to max (adjusting balance to left side only).
I've played with the fade button but it's both left speakers regardless of front or back that are hard to hear. Occasionally when adjusting the volume the left speakers will kick on for a split second, then turn off and nothing more.
Is there somewhere I can send the radio for a repair/cleaning? I want to maintain the stock look and feel, so replacing the unit is not an option and I have had no luck on eBay for a used replacement.
I'm handy with soldering and tinkering, so not afraid to open it up. I just have no internal radio experience.
Any advice?
