I have a Kenwood cassette deck, KX-7030. It's very clean and in great shape cosmetically. I haven't used it often in the last 10 years, but when I want to listen to a cassette, it's all I've got. Recently, my cassettes have developed a noise during playback. It sounds vaguely like the tapes were recorded at a too high record level -- although not that pronounced. It's like a slight distortion. It happens with all tapes -- commercial, metal, Type II, etc. I cleaned and demagnetized the heads and thought the problem was cured. I listened to two tapes the same evening (both of which had sounded bad previously) and didn't notice the problem. 48 hours later the distortion/noise is back -- although maybe not as bad. My sense of things is that this is a decent machine -- 3 heads, good build quality, etc. But, is this tape deck worth repairing? Or should I scrap it and search out a replacement? Can anyone hazard a guess what the problem is? And finally, can anyone point me to a repair shop? I saw a recommendation here for Bob, at Vintage Electronics. Unfortunately they are not accepting repairs right now until they catch up on their current backlog. Location is really not an issue. I'll have to ship anywhere given my rather remote location.
