Recently, I've noticed this weird buzzing/crackling noise everytime I play a tape in this deck. It even shows up on the left input channel meter when the tape is playing. I feeling like it might be some sort've grounding issue but I'm not entirely sure! The plug on it is also a two-prong and not a normal three-prong if that makes a difference! I've never worked on tape decks before so If someone can help me diagnose this issue and how to fix it, please lmk ! Thanks ❤️ !!!
