    Hiss in Left Channel Sony TC188SD

    Just picked up an Sony TC188SD from ebay in great condition. The only problem I have is that the left Channel has a disty hiss sound to it all the time not only during playback.

    Technics RS-M260 - no recording/erase whatsoever

    So... I know a little bit about measuring and fault-finding, but I am still a novice, so bear with me. Symptoms as follows: Everything seems to work - level meters, level adjustment for recording, selector switches, buttons - everything works, clicks etc. However, when I hit "record" nothing...
