Hello all, I’ve inherited a TEAC amp and combined cassette and cd player, along with a record deck and wharfedale speakers. I feel as though I’ve wired things up correctly but I can’t get any sound out although everything seems to be working. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Can you attach some pictures of your wiring? It’s impossible to help otherwise.

What source are you playing? Have you tried headphones? By ‘working’ do you mean something is moving?

Hi, thanks for your response. I haven’t got headphones with a suitable jack but I can hear the CD spin and start playing but no sound. Photos attached

I’m sure you’ve done all this but check your input selector is correct, check the mute button, the tape monitor selector selectors and the speaker selectors are all correct. You don’t seemed to have selected speakers A.

Thanks, all tried but nothing,

thanks, I thought I’d done all of those things but have checked again, all seems to be correct but still the same
 
Have you got another pair of speakers to test? Or another amp to test? Or another source?

If you’ve selected the correct input, the correct speakers and ensured that everything is connected correctly, the only conclusion is one element is faulty.

No, unfortunately I don’t have any spares
