But just my luck. I knew, when bought the thing, that screen from bass slider was missing and some scratching&nbsp; noise came from vol and balance sliders, not a big deal, could be taken care of quite easy, i think.</p><p>But now, when I finally installed it, I found out that there is distortion on left channel. This is the same with radio and casette. The sound is like somebody having a clump of slime in throath.</p><p>Any idea, is it some capacitor dried out, and if, which one is the suspect, or where the problem might be?</p><p>&nbsp;Also, any idea, where to find the slider screen for the bass?</p><p>Are the potentiometers ordinary sliding potentiometers available in electronics hobby shops?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pekka <br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
