Hi Jbaussie,
Sounds like an earthing problem with your deck/tonearm - it's 20 years since I had a systemdek & don't know the earthing arrangemnet with your model.
Try taping a thin gauge piece of insulated wire from the base of your tone arm to the earthing post on your amp/phono stage.
If this cures the problem, scrape some paint from the underside of the tonearm base & solder the wire to it - wind it around your tone arm signal cables & solder a lug/spade to the amp end & connect.
