I disconnected the lower frequency turned it on a set the volume to near max, I heard the fan kick in and go into overdrive.
Seems alright now? Must have blown a few cobwebs out??

Agree with 1st commenter, a capacitor, specifically a large electrolytic. They age.

Id put my money on defective electrolytics or cracked potentiometer.

Most likeley thing to fail is anything that moves, volume control, switches, speakers etc. see if the fault changes when you operate them.
Caps could be the issue but moving parts fail most often.

I figure I could probably get a Tesco Value replacement for £5 in this day and age.

Any experts have an idea what’s going on? It would be a shame to chuck it out if it's just a simple fix.

Take it to Triangle TV in Redland. There experts at component level faults and I know the guy who runs it. Their address is: 124 Coldharbour Road, Redland, Bristol BS6 7SL

Better than that I'll disconnect the upper range and see what it sounds like.
Gone are the days when a student with a multimeter would fix it for a fiver.

My old Pioneer amp was doing similar things out of one speaker, but there's A & B speaker outputs on it and switching the pair from A to B and now both work again. I originally thought it was the speakers (which are even older).
