Yes, tape is new! I even tried it on my other Echocord, Tubes are new. I have a little bit of distortion. It can be capacitor. I contacted a Belgian man (Retired. He is 93) and he worked a lot on those units. He told me to replace capacitors at first!

Thanks a lot!

These apparatus of the sixties might be packed with brown resin dipped Wima caps. These are well known for failing over the decades, especially coupling caps are getting leaky thus deteriorate the bias of the tubes. I repaired some Grundig tape recorders of that time with exact that problem. They worked after replacing all coupling capacitors.
