So I don't know how it goes on....
I have a belt and have put it on the best I can.

My problem:

The play/record head doesn't move into place.
I am wondering if this is a belt routing issue or is there more then one belt... I really can't tell if it takes more then one.

I press play and I see a small plunger type actuator move......but it doesn't appear to be hook to anything. I can manually move the head mount, but it doesn't stay in place. Does anyone know how to replace the belt or how to engage the play head.

Thanks

I'm a total newb, this is my first post, but here is my problem. I recently purchased a tascam 34b when i got it, i tested out the first channel and it was playing and recording fine. the second time i used it channel 2 wasn't getting any signal through the input but when i turned the input level knob back and forth a few times it started working. Then, last night ireceived my dx-4d and hooked it up, i fire up the deck and nothing was working so i unhooked the dx-4d and at first i was getting nothing when i played the tape and was getting no input signal thru channel 1 or 2, i tried turning the input and output knobs back and forth and i started getting playback on channel 1 but not on channel 2 and i still wasn't getting any input signal thru channels 1and 2. Is there anyone who can give me some things to check, or am i going to have to take it to someone who knows what they are doing, i'm no electronics wiz but hopefully there are some things i can test out on my own that aren't too difficult, like maybe it has dirty pots or a loose connection any advise would be greatly appreciated. tx. ]]> Analog Only landstrom27 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292625 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292550&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:32:07 GMT Going vintage here Scene 1 Local Pawnshop r2r suitcase shape, with 2 monitors to listen what if I test an old r2r sony- tc- 200 with some tascam 388 tapes I have, I only have 8 track masters in reels. 8 track masters into a stereo deck, what will happen? the other option is a grand master...

what if I test an old r2r sony- tc- 200 with some tascam 388 tapes I have, I only have 8 track masters in reels. 8 track masters into a stereo deck, what will happen?

the other option is a grand master 456 reel with, I think nothing on it

Ive turned it on and everything worked, rewind, play , forward. lights up

its a nice machine, will I be able to find belts,... rollers.,..if I need them?

they are asking 30 euros, thats like 45 dollars I think ]]> Analog Only HomeGos http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292550
