Default Re: AKAI GXC-46D Cassette recorder/player

It looks like a mains motor. It has an 'outside' flywheel attached to it and it is fed by 3 wires that lead to what looks like a control board. Seems to be running at the correct speed with no wow and flutter. I've found the power supply pcb, after 4 screws are removed it lifts up enough to gain access. But I haven't got a service manual, and I'm still wondering why engaging the motor is causing this noticeable LF hum on just one channel??
