Tech savvy? i need you

i just got my new Walkman in the mail

dont worry if you know nothing about cassettes or players thereof
i took it out of the box and threw a cassette in. i pulgged in my perfectly functional stereo headphones
It only plays through the right ear unless you constantly adjust the headphone cord, is this an easy fix or do i need a new headphone jack?

every time this happened it was always something screwed up with my headphones, so its probably that

[Rockinboy2000]

people still use these things? lol.

did you buy it used or brand new?
and yes i know you stated "new" it in the OP but i just want to make sure

its very used, its a 1985 model

my headphones work in all my other devices

id probably assume its the wiring or something of that nature involving audio, not to mention its "very used" and a "1985 model"

p sure its the walkman itself and not your headphones

also, did it come in proper packaging or just a DIY one?

my headphones work in all my other devices

then its the output in the walkman, the connector is prob bent from years of manhandling

prob not worth trying to replace it

it was a cardboard box with the unit wrapped in bubble wrap and the rest of the box filled with packing peanuts

the Ebay description said fully functional so i might have to get in touch with him then

Go into the settings and change the balance. :)

1 question: do your headphones have a microphone/volume adjuster attached? If so, that could be the reason but I'm not entirely sure.

[Doughboy]

could be the inside of the headphone jack

[warble]

one of the reasons i love brown townog is its much more simple, the walkman has a total of 9 controls Play, Stop, FWD, REW, norm/metal, fm/am,volume, radio tuning, tape, radio

I actually have equally old headphones sort of like the ones from gotg, they just plug in and have no buttons at all

[warble]

basically is there anyway to "clean" the inside of a headphone jack, there might be something in there or some corrosion you never know
