My M-X920 needs restoration.
It's clean. I finally got it to properly record from LINE IN without consistent buzzing, but recording quality in general still is not so great. Still buzzing a little from time to time when ALC is on or during the recording process only when carrying, or moving it but it records fine when the unit is sitting still now. It still makes a single VERY LOUD pop in the left speaker when I flip the ALC switch, or press record. I cleaned all contacts and got the static out of most the controls, but I can't seem to get the static out of the balance control when I bring it over to the left channel. The VU indicator always shows an imbalance of channels. Now all of the sudden the Noise Reduction LED indicator stays lit sometimes even when it's turned off and pause LED indicator stays lit when using any of the tape functions. Not sure what's causing all of this as of yet. I have a service manual. I am determined to get this thing restored.
