why is the right channel on my cassette deck inaudible?

why is the right channel on my cassette deck inaudible? ive tried new cables and other cassettes.

sometimes, though, you play a tape, and you can hear the right channel. then, you stop it, and play it again, and you now cant hear it.

Yea you need to keep it clean, probably fix you right up. Q tips etc. Mr elliott has the right approach.. First things first..

No need to overhaul it when it's a (GULP), oil change, ay?
