Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help

My new Tri-Vista integrated has worked beautifully for a month, but yesterday, for the first time, I discovered that no sound is coming through the right terminals into the speaker. I tried shifting speakers and cables around and found that it has to originate with the amp. The amp has two sets of binding posts, but in changing the speaker cables to either of them, I've still gotten no sound out of the right side. Could this be a problem with an internal fuse, and if so, and since I have no MF dealers here in Korea (I bought off the net), what might be my options in terms of getting the amp repaired? Any suggestions?

Problem with MF,reliability.Perhaps small problem,open up the amp and see if fuse or fuses still intact,if not ,easy to repair,just check the fuse rating on the fuse(My Pathos Logos has 6 fuses in total).Check the minuature tubes.If cant find problem there,try to get fixed locally,must be some reputable repair places in your Country.Try to avoid sending to another Country due to cost.Try not to send to MF as may refuse to repair as bought "Grey ".Dont know what their policy are.
All amps basically work on the same principals so should be easy to solve the problem.
Good Luck.

Pop the top and check for a loose RCA cable connection inside. MF uses quite a few of these internal cables in the Tri-Vista and one could have come loose. Overall, MF gear is some pretty reliable stuff with very good customer service.

Thanks Merganser. I really like the amp and want the problem fixed. I tried contacting MF by phone and they're hard to reach these days--probably because of the holidays. Are there any other ways to contact them other than the one phone number posted on their website? Thanks.
