First thing I would try is a demagnetizer on the play head - it probably wouldn't hurt to do that anyway. If it still buzzed, I would DeOxit the internal record bar, which can be the culprit to all kinds of weird noises.

Internal record bar like vinyl section or the recording tape part ?

Putting blank tape in and pushing rec a few times sometimes works.
Hit a little spray in the record switch and bam good to go thanks man so much for the help
I also put a tape in and recorded a few times to have the switch move each time it got better
