Thumbs up Grundig TK20 and Truvox R82. Help Required Please.

Hi Everyone,
I have a Grundig TK20 and a Truvox R82 reel to reel tape recorder. Both are fine mechanically but both have audio issues. The Grundig plays with good volume for around 20 minutes before slowly fading until it reaches a point that increasing the volume control has no effect. The Truvox had a similar problem but has now changed to a hum which varies with the volume control and the audio level is extremely low, hardly audible in fact.
If anyone can pinpoint what is likely needed to be replaced and it is a simple job I'll give it a go, otherwise is there anyone out there in my area, Merseyside, who would be prepared to take a look at them for me. I have recordings dating back to the early 1960's when I was in a band and I would like to be able to listen to them again!
