balance to the left gives me the right phone. The phones and the 1/8

Any ideas. A Short in the female headphone jack?

I don't particularly know your receiver. Some of these older receivers have
an L R reverse switch. Check that out for your receiver.

Then the headphones are wired wrong. It happens, I had a set of AKG 240's
this way. Unless it's physically uncomfortable, just turn them around.
Otherwise either the Fisher or the headphones will need to be rewired. I
don't accept that the left / right orientation suddenly changed on it's own.

The headphones work correctly with other components. And yes it worked
properly with the Fisher until yesterday

The Fisher is an old model. Maybe some issue with the wires that go to the
headphone jack. I don't think even this would cleanly reverse the channels,
but a wiring issue here could account for your problem.

Hello,

Fisher tube receivers had the headphone jacks wired 'backwards' from
the modern convention of left channel being tip. The receiver left the
factory that way. My guess is that you noticed it now because you were
using the balance control. The cure is to either take it to a shop and
have them switch the wires on the jack, or make up a short extension
cable that has the channels reversed at one end. Of course, you could
just live with it as is.
