Rotel RA-04 channel issues

Hi There

Am working one of these right at this moment. What i have found is i have very low output on right/hand channel on all functions however as soon as i remove the bottom chassis plate the chanel comes back. What i have found is as soon as tighten down the screw on a earth point right near the smoothing caps the chanel disappears but if you remove the plate and connect a bridging wire from that earth point chassi the channel goes faulty am trying to get circuit diagram at present to carry on fault finding.
