Hello, I just won a bid for an M-35 but now i find out that the VU meters don't light up. Is this repair simple to do, or will i just have to leave it light less? Also just to verify...even if the VU's dont light up, they still work right? And one more thing...what does it mean when the "pots"...

Hey, I'm looking to replace a stereo mixer with one that has more capability. Its come down to the Tascam M-35 and the MM-20 (with expander, and VU's). I think i can deal with the Patching on the MM-20 but what positivies or negatives can you guys point out. Btw, this will be for a 4-track, and...

Hey, I'm in the market for a mixer, and i have pretty much decided on the Yamaha MG 12/4, but i was wondering what other options i have that would match (or best) the quality of the 12/4 in the same price range. I've noticed Euroracks are really cheap with FX and stuff, but i know anything...

Hey all, I just bought a Tascam 22-4 and i need tape. So the only thing in know is that i need 1/4" tape in a 7" reel. Other than that i have no idea what to purchase. Also I've been reading up on the so called "tape shortage" so I know availability shouldn't be a problem, but what should a...

Hey, I have this two track sony reel to reel, everything plays fine, except the play button wont stay engaged/locked, so i have to hold it down. It locks down if i turn it off, push play, then turn it on. The only prob there is that 5min into the playing the tape starts to slow down. Does...
