I am considering selling my baby. I have thought about this for a while now. Im gonna sell my TSR-8... eventually. So I actually have no idea what a fully functional TSR-8 is worth. Its got a brand new record head with maybe 5-7 hours of use maximum. Bought at JFR Magnetics. It has the full...

I recently bought a Hantek DSO5072P Scope to use for aligning the heads on my Tascam TSR-8 tape machine. In my manual it just says to connect the outputs (2 & 7) to the scope. But Im confused if I just try to clip the probes right to the female rca plugs on the back of the TSR-8 or should I...

I have been scouring the interwebs looking for a video or a tutorial on how to properly disassemble a Tascam M-1600 mixer for cleaning. Im sure you're thinking, just start taking screws out and go from there... Well, I want to know if I should be trying to take the top panel off, or if its...

Just like the title of this thread says... I want to know what is the best way to upgrade the 8-Xlr preamps to something better. Is there any kind of Mod I can do? Or can I recapp the preamp Capacitors? Or am I just best off to just buy a separate 8 channel preamp unit to just bypass the...

Hey guys, I recently bought a Tascam M-1600 for $200.00 But it did not have the M-1616 meter bridge. So Im hoping I can find someone on here who has one laying around... Thanks Merry Christmas!!

I figured I would finally get around to putting a "Looking For" thread up for the mixer I am after. So, like the Title says, I am looking for a "Gently Used" or "New in the Box" Tascam M-2516. Actually the "New in the Box" is just a joke... Unless someone actually has been sitting on one for...

I know that this question gets asked all the time for this and just about every other piece of equipment. I have a Tascam TSR-8. My typical recording setup is gonna be something like this. Basically just me and my Old-Man. So there is never gonna be more than 2 people at any time. I...

Hey, I am looking to buy a 8 channel recording snake. Not a live/stage type. I am also looking for one that has a box on one end with all the xlr's locked into place in a 4+4 pattern or whatever. Not the kind that has loose XLR's dangling on both ends. And I will NOT buy HOSA. Does anyone...

Hi, Not sure if this is in the right forum but here goes anyways... I am looking for a Tascam TSR-8 Head Housing or head cover. The Part number in the manual is 5801193900. I didnt want to post this in the normal buy and sell forum because I figured it would get more analog people here. Mods...

Probably a stupid question, but I have to ask. Can I take a standard guitar cord and convert it into a xlr mic cable? Like I said probably stupid but I need to know...

Hey guys... I have a bunch of things for sale... First. Used Cymbals... 18" Zildjian Crash/Ride $125. 15" Zildjian Hihats (top and bottom) $120...

I am about to embark on a full alignment and calibration of my TSR-8. I have everything I need except a Multi-meter. I have one. A "Victor VC9805A" But Im not sure if it goes down low enough to do the Bias. Anyway, I believe that my record head is off a little. So I want to use winscope...

Howdy, I am looking into getting a nice 1/2" Aluminum Splicing Block. I found a 1/4" version on the ATR site but nothing about a 1/2" one. I even checked ebay but unless Im typing the wrong keywords there isnt anything on there. Anyone know where I can get a new one? And maybe the...

Well, Im finally looking into purchasing a MRL tape for my Tascam TSR-8. Problem is, Im not sure what type I need. I have found this... MRL Analog Multi-frequency Calibration Tapes 1/4" thru 2" And Im thinking I can just get the "1/2" 15 IPS IEC 8 Minute 355 nWb/m MRL31J429" or the NAB...

I am selling a PodPro rackmount unit. Barley Used. In Like New Condition. Looking for $225. But will consider Best Offers...
