Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues with my SL3's. Specifically, the right speaker becomes muffled at random times. I can only describe the effect as feeling like you're part deaf in one ear The high frequencies become muffled, but everything else sounds the same. The effect isn't subtle, it's like an on/off switch. Now, these were made in Jan 1995 and have the original panels so it might be a panel issue. However, I've found that wiggling the cable connectors around usually fixes the problem temporarily. Ironically, the less contact the connector has, the better it works(cable barely touching the post works the best). I'm wondering if it might be an internal wiring issue with a loose contact somewhere. I opened up the back panel and probed around, but couldn't find anything that looked out of the ordinary. Some of the white cotton insulation had stuck onto some of the wires and caps, but all the wires seemed to be fully soldered. I've vacuumed the panels, but to no effect. I'm going to try washing them tonight but in the meantime, anyone have suggestions?
Thanks
