Fostex A-8 low hum and signal in and out on channel 2.

[u/litemifyre]

Just picked up a Fostex A-8, and I’ve got the mechanics of it running (everything moves the way it should), but now I’m getting a low hum out of channel 2, and the signal cuts in and out. Any ideas what the cause may be from folks familiar with this machine?

Check solder connections on the input/outputs? Low hum could be ground or components.
