McIntosh 402 amp channel stopped working


Howdy folks-

McIntosh 402 amp

Am having trouble with my left channel not working, thought it was a short in my phono pre. I would adjust the power cable on the phono pre a little and it would work, then not work, but mostly work. Got a new JLTi phono pre today from Australia and same thing, left channel won't work. Hmmmmmmm

Started trouble shooting. Exchanged cables, sources and even a different receiver, different phono pre, same situation. Switched speaker wire, same issue. Odd thing is when running through my McIntosh preamp in mono, both channels work. 

At the moment, big Mac 402 running the mains through the Anthem processor, same issue, no left channel. Thoughts? 
I'll contact the local HiFi guys here in Miami to see if they'll look at it. I don't want to send it off to mac head quarters!

it could just be oxidized connections, use deoxit on all rca inputs/outputs and speaker outputs terminals.
