It's common on all tape decks for the wires from the heads, to break, often

I checked for continuity on the leads from the head to the board and
they were all ok.

The other very common thing for no playback on one channel,
is the record / playback switch going bad, particularly if you don't record
often. As a first move, locate the switch, and give it a vigourous scrub
back and forth. If that produces a fix, squirt a little switch cleaner /
lubricant in there, and repeat the scrubbing.


I could not locate such a switch on this deck. For reference, it is
logic controlled. The only internal switches on the transport are the
one that stops the tape if the eject button is pressed and the one that
detects if the 'record-protect' tab has been removed.
