Okay I took a chance on Ebay with an old EV 665 mic, the seller was forthright about not testing it, and what do you know it showed up today and it doesn't work. I checked the wiring at the XlR as well as at the impedance switch. Then I took the grill off and carefully got things out....it...

This is for the AMpex folks: I'm about to pick up an AG-440B, and have been studying the manual to prepare myself. So...in the maintenance section it mentions oiling the capstan motor and capstan idler motor every 3 months....what oil should I use? Also, it mentions once a year taking...

So I've read that alot of people erase tape for future use by using the machine that tape was recorded on. I've got a bunch of one pass tape that I've used, good RMGI 911 that I'd like to use again. Until I get the bulk eraser I thought I'd try to erase some with the deck I made the...

I'm starting to investigate the purchasing of things I'll need to do basic setup on my Ampex AG440B. I know alot of people use computers for test tones these days, but my computer is not to be trusted. Plus I keep computers and anything like it very far away from my music! So besides an old...

So I'm eyeing up a functioning Ampex 111 table top bulk eraser....there's no manual, how do I go about this? mark

I'm trying to find something to dump rough mixes from my tape machine on to. Previously I used Teac/Tascam machines w/ RCA outputs and could go to an old Tascam cassette deck I have. Now I'm changing things up and will be running mixes through a Soundcraft board w/ XLR outputs. Is there a...

Well my tax returns will be in the bank in a few weeks and I'm really thinking I want to buy my first REAL tape machine. I found an Ampex AG-440B locally, fully functional, 1/4" 2 track, 15ips, w/ MRL tape too! The price is right. Why wouldn't I want this machine? Anyone have any thoughts...

Just got my Souncraft board back from the shop. I'm about to really use it in conjunction with some of my tape machines. This board has 2 "main outs" that are XLR, and 4 "aux" outs that are 1/4". So, for example, if I want run a few mics through the board and want to go into the 2 RCA ins...

So I've got an EV 664. Cool mic. I've been wanting an EV 666 because I've heard they sound quite nice, plus, its the mic of the beast! But what's up with the EV 665? It looks like the 664 but is in the green color that is usually seen on the 666s? Is the 665 more like the 664 or the 666...

I'm posting in the analog section because this mixer is to be used with the Teac 4 track machines... I picked up a Teac model 2 mixer, to use with my 3340 machine while my Soundcraft board was being repaired. Now I've seen people talk about the model 2A mixer, but what about the model 2? The...

I've been recording on an old Teac 3340s 4 track machine, it has been nice, I like the old preamps on these TEacs. I HATE not being able to monitor all the channels with one headphone jack, this has a setup where you can only monitor 1-3 or 2-4, a real pain when you want to go direct. So...
