Hey there...somewhat new to the forum...casual reader and first time poster. So I'm not sure I'm posting this in the correct place.
At any rate, I recently picked up a Pioneer CT-F6262 tape deck. I cleaned it up and was happy to find that it generally sounds pretty good. However, I have been having a random issue where the left channel suddenly turns to an annoying loud hum...it is loud and pegs the left meter. It will persist until I stop the tape. If I remove the tape I can immediately reinsert it and the problem will be gone.
Any idea what would cause this somewhat random issue. I often will make it through an entire cassette without it happening. But when it happens it is unsettling.
