Level Anything
Member
I was recording to my Model 80 these last couple days when suddenly it started making a terrible noise whenever I hit record. It will play fine but as soon as I punch in or hit record it starts making this noise. The noise is coming from all the other previously recorded tracks and is so loud it almost drowns them out during overdubs. It shows up in the level meters but doesn't print to tape. It seems as if it started getting worse the longer I had my machine on. It's crackly and static, and horrendous to hear while trying to overdub.
Anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I bought this machine last July and it was sitting unused for a number of years. My first guess is bad caps, but I have no experience in changing those. Any help is appreciated.
