The machine is now working and the motor rumble is cured. However. there is a persistant regular pulsed interference that come through both speakers . It only comes through when it is in play mode so that the motor is turning &nbsp;, but does it even if there is no tape in the machine. It gets louder and more persistant if I put a load on the turning spindle and is contorllable in volume by the volume control. Is this interference from the motor ? Any suggestions how to fix it.
