Thanx Frank 

 

I've isolated the problem ,it's gotta be the pedal.I ran the machine
yesterday without it and  it  behaved great, no audio drops.

 

Do you know if the pedal can cause some kind of short or feedback that
results in the level drop / noise increase?

Mind that, when when the problem occurs, and I disconnect the pedal, thye
machine  stays at low level / high noise.

With the machine on?

 

Please do it with the machine off. Wiggling wires is not usually a good idea
when it is hot. The other way to check is with an ohm meter. Unplug the head
block and connect one lead to the connector center pin and the other end on
the center wire where it is soldered to the tape heads. You should get a
null reading. Wiggle the wire and check again. Same thing with the sleeve.
If you get anything else, your connection is bad.
