A Reel Person
It's Too Funky in Here!!!
I recently bought a Tascam 38 "parts or repair", with remote, manual, tapes & take up reel. Turns out the "Edit" button was pressed and the 38 was not broken at all, although I did have to remove the bottom panel and press onto the audio cards to freshen up a few contacts. Got it for a song. Although I had to drive a significant amount, I doubled my money within a week!
After IDK how many years I'd had my Snackmaster dehydrator, new in box, I finally used it to bake a couple batches of tapes. IDC what the naysayers say, it worked beautifully! Baked (3) 1/2" reels simultaneously for 18 hours, and the oldest of sticky tapes ran like new! Gave me a glimpse of how horrid my oldest recordings sounded, but I think I've made some progress musically and production-wise in 30 years. (A whole other post). The baking of tapes is a life saver, as I see it. YES!
