2. Are there idler tires on the 234? I didn't see any, but if the belts are goo, the tire(s) could be too.
Presumably, since these guys are selling them:

I tried an Emory board on it.... I figured what did I have to lose...... The bad news is I emailed Terry and he's going on vacation. It'll be a month until the roller can get done.... so I'm going to shelve the project for a while, and hopefully not take apart the 244 again to get to it's pinch roller...... it's awful tempting......
You all will have to excuse my ignorance on this one. I've only used a Portastudio and am looking at how to hook up a mixing board to the tape player. Here's what I have:

Right now, I'm using a Portastudio 424 as the track tape player (eventually, I hope it's the 234).
I think I understand that I will bring the line outs from the tape player into channels 5-8 so I can still use the eq. Recording to the tape player, is where I'm having the problems.
The board only the stereo outputs and the aux sends. Would it be best to come out of these as line ins to the tape player?
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to do here. The 424 has its own built-in mixer, so you don't need to use an external one with it (unless you're wanting to, say ... submix a whole bunch of mics or something).
You will need one for the 234, but I don't understand what you're wanting to with the mixer with regards to the 424. I guess I'm missing something?
Thanks FB!!! (I was posting while you were).. I'm going to be studying this a little....
I was playing a little bit with this yesterday..... One of the things I don't understand is I tried using a balanced TRS cable in channels 1-4 and got a muffled sound unless I pulled it out some. When I use a TS cable, I can put it in normally and the signal comes through just fine.
Why aren't the "balanced" cables working in the "balanced" inputs?
