Adcom GTP350 pre left channel cutting out

[GraphicFX]

Problem with my Adcom gtp350 preamp

left channel is cutting out from time to time. A light tap on the chassis usually gets things balanced. I thought I isolated the problem as a dirty volume pot, but now it seems that "jiggling" any button on the front panel fixes the problem... temporarily.

Anyone have any input as to what the culprit is? and is it a cheap fix.

Thanx in advance.

Turn off your stereo's and get some sunshine fercryinoutloud

Get a can of Deoxit from Radio Shack and clean all the pots and switches.  That will probably fix it.  If not, could be a loose connnection or bad solder joint on the front panel.

My bet would be a weak solder joint if the pots are clean.  If I were to put a price on fixing it,  I would charge no less than four bottles of 60 minute IPA,  forum member price.  Three if you drink one with me.

Pardon my ignorance, what is IPA, and yes, I would gladly partake.

Ok gotcha. Does it go with indian food?

not sure, subjective, I would go with riesling wine for that myself.  IPA beer goes well with more IPA beer

OK so now what?  should I take it in to the shop?  is the shop ready for repair work or is the move putting everything on hold?

@OBG doesn't work at the shop.  He lives in the Washington PA area.

I am a shop supporter but not employed by Tom.   As Scott pointed out if you can pop by house some time and drop the piece off I can look at it.  I may be able to get it done while you wait. 

PM me and I will provide my detailed contact info.
