Not even a guess lol

Hey all! First off, I haven't been coming around for a couple years and it's good to be back. Glad to see some familiar names still posting and helping people (shout out to Sweetbeats, famous beagle, cjacek) So, to my problem... For the last year or so I have been working around an issue with...

Hate to be a buzzkill but these cassettes aren't very good. They're manufactured by NAC, which produced this formula after 4 years of trial and error and it doesn't have a great reputation. These Tascam cassettes are collectors items and that's about it. $22 a tape is WAY overpriced and they...

Hey everybody! Been a little while since I logged in but I just released a collection of home recordings. I put out music under the Free Country and this album is called Fast Asleep 2009 to 2012 I, shockingly, recorded these songs in those years with a Tascam DP02, Tascam 246, and mixdowned to...

Hey guys, I'm resurrecting this old thread because I started a project to calibrate my 22-2 tonight and ran into some pretty heavy problems. I don't find any info on the web about this (shocker!) so I thought it would be helpful to document the process (for good or ill) here. I am using the...

I have had the Slate Everything Bundle for a while now and it includes the Tape Machines plug in so I am selling the one I bought. Buyer gets the license transferred to them for full ownership. You will need an iLok. You can email me directly at johnjay26@gmail.com

I turned my 246 on last night and while I was setting up the mic level for the first track I noticed that the LED tape counter isn't on. I didn't notice if it was lit up when I turned the machine on, but it's definitely not working. I turned the machine on and off a couple times and pressed the...

I searched through our past threads and didn't see much about Terry here, besides the occasional mention/recommendation, so I wanted to make it official. I had such a hard time finding a new pinch roller wheel for my 244 and 246 when I first got them. I ended up buying some from a place in...

The green knobs for the Tascam 244 that control the gain on the Aux channel. I have the bottoms that control the panning position but the tops with the green part are lost. If you have 2 of those that'd be awesome.

Had a coffee cup containing all the knobs from my 244 in it and my nephew got a hold of it and long story short, I'm missing two green knobs, the ones with the sweepable underneath part. If anyone has a parts machine and can spare a couple, please let me know how much you want for them and I...

Hi, A friend of mine recently got a free 424 for free as it wasn't powering on. I bought a new power adapter for it and made sure it was the same exact one for the machine. I got the thing to turn on but after testing it I see that the capstan motor doesn't run at all. The FF and RW will both...

I have a Tascam 244 that I bought locally from CL and replaced the belts and idler tires but the pinch roller wheel needs to be replaced (as usual.) I knew of a seller on eBay located in Germany that sold them, but they no longer offer them so I searched around until I found this... *NEW...

I bought a new roll of the Recording The Masters tape to use for a recording and noticed it's leaving a lot of residue on the heads and pinch roller wheel. These pictures are from the second time I cleaned it today, and only after about an hour of use. The first time was even dirtier, but I...

I was recording to my Model 80 these last couple days when suddenly it started making a terrible noise whenever I hit record. It will play fine but as soon as I punch in or hit record it starts making this noise. The noise is coming from all the other previously recorded tracks and is so loud it...

So, I recently bought a Tascam 246 from a guy through Craigslist with the plan to fix it up and sell it. This is the model I was asking about replacing the VU meter bulbs on last month. I went through and cleaned it up nice, with new belts, pinch roller wheel, idler tires. I tested all the...
