Kinda strange but...all transistor phonograph problem: no right channel

So I scored a kickass deal at the local thrift store yesterday: a 1962 Airline 2485B phonograph+radio console (looks kind of like this but with different controls) for $5. The radio works and the turntable works pending a new cartridge/needle but I can't get the right speaker channel to work. I switched the speakers to see if they were blown but they're both fine...all of the connections up to the transistor board seem to be fine as well. I taped the two speaker connections together to get dual left channel mono for now but I'd like to restore the stereo setup ASAP.

What should I look for on the board in regards to blown transistors?

Found it: it's this exact model (except is the B variant instead of A):

Should I get a multimeter and go to town?

Alright, this is my last bump.

The turntable works like a charm since I got a new cartridge/needle and the dual mono sounds decent but I'd like to have stereo for my LPs.

All of the resistors/transistors look OK...

So I was moving this the other day and my ghetto-taped speaker cable came loose. I opened up the back to fix it and decided to hook up the right speaker proper...stereo sounds works like a charm now. I have done nothing.

All's well that ends well I guess.

Glad to hear it was just a connection problem.

Seems like an interesting antique you got there Kan!

Yeah, it's cool as all hell...great sound and works perfectly.

I think it is something with the board as the right channel still occasionally cuts out/gets quieter. It's easily fixed by rocking the power switch a couple of times.
