I just purchased a beautiful Akai 208D-SS Quad reel to reel along with a Pioneer QX-9900 Quad receiver. When first turned on they play beautiful but after a few minutes I get static through one speaker and lose almost all volume and the #2 VU meter gets erratic. I cleaned both with DeoxIT D5 and thought the problem was fixed. I cleaned everything again and after sitting they play beautiful but after a few minutes the same thing happens all over again. Could it be a capacitor? I don't want to spend a fortune but both are in excellent shape.
Thank You!!
