After recording an album I tried to play back the tape but all that happened was a loud, fast pulsing sound and the meters are pegged. I tried other prerecorded tapes with the same result. It worked fine before I recorded anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be a broken off ground connection somewhere, but most likely one or more bad
connections in the record/playback switch.

Thank you for your suggestion! I decided to return the deck for a refund. It was described as working?
