Yes it probably is! I was just hoping! Its the second set op potentiometers with the first one the volume pot was completelyu worn out, one channel had very little resistance. I have had the other type also. So perhaps nothing can be done about it besides buying another 4400 and hope the volume pot is ok. I have a suspicion though that they all have problems. I add a photo of the type in question.
The balance works fine. To be more precise: If I balance the input to the volume control with the small pots you can access from the underside (using the phono pots) so that the two channels are equal when the volume slider is at 3. Then if I move the volume slider to 4 the left speaker becomes much louder. Then if I move the slider further up the scale to 5 the balance at first becomes equal but at 6 the right speaker becomes a little louder. And so on!
The volume control has a lot of connections so perhaps the problem could be elswhere?
Martin suggested a short or the IC so I took a look at the IC and found a short 🙂 Its a reminder; “always look for small pieces of solder”
Solved; a classic: Tiny little piece of solder between two legs of the stereo decoder IC
Thank you Matin

Thank you Martin :)) I have been looking for a short or wrong connection as I have changed both the radicator and the LED and also the on/off switch. I will look again and perhaps change the stereo decoder card with a spare one that I have. Thank you again for answering.
