Hi Dan! Great Vid! I've got an 8004 in my garage, buried somewhere. Are you saying the headphone out is actually off-tape, and not source? It's possible to mod the deck to monitor off tape? That's the only reason I've not bothered with fixing mine!
Ahh, it's actually not "off-tape" as in a 3 head deck. This is a 2 head deck, so no tape monitoring while recording. This deck has an annoying feature in when you engage the recording option, you don't hear the audio from the deck. (It has to do with the way their receiver is setup). You can enable "audio out" while recording by making a mod on the deck. I'll have to check with mine, but I believe the headphone out works for monitoring while recording to tape.
Hey there, I watched your video in hope of comparing with mine! Whenever it gets out of Stand By mode it makes a humming noise… it’s not coming from the speakers, it’s an ambient hum - I wonder if it’s normal
It's normal. Its the capstan motor that is humming. You may want to add a drop of oil to the capstan motor shaft as it should quiet it down a bit. But that's likely the hum. :)

I just bought one of these 8000's and it won't come out of standby. Any idea why?

I have one of these for sale, with box in working order. Please comment if you would like more info.
