I have a Tascam 388 set up in my home studio. I came across a spare power supply card that I had laying around, so I decided to order all new caps for it to recap. Still waiting on the caps to arrive. I thought I'd recap this spare PSU being that it's already out of the machine and swap it in...

Soooo, I went out to a few thrift stores today and spotted a box in the electronics section of the store. It had a New old stock label put on by the store and the product inside is an Alpine RU-20B wireless remote control unit for cassette decks. When I opened it up, the first thing that came...

Was browsing at the Thrift store today and saw a familiar looking grey box peeking out from under some junk. Pulled it out and it's a NOS reel of Ampex 456 2 inch tape. The reel is still sealed in the plastic. I ended up buying it for the hell of it. It cost me $20. It's most likely sticky...

Looks like Im gonna go out and buy up some old walkmans from the thrift store this weekend. I gotta try to make one of these....Sooooooo cool!

To start off....I'm not gonna do a detailed "story" thread, as I'm just not good at it and I don't know what I'm doing most of the time.:facepalm: After seeing Sweetbeats thread on his recently aquired Akai's, curiousity got the best of me and I located one not too far from me and I got it on a...

I thought I'd post this here because this is the forum I frequent the most, and...I like you guys:) I was at a Thrift store and noticed this cheap looking plastic box with 3 Knobs. Tone,Balance,Volume. I don't know why I bought it, I was just curious. It is really light in weight. It feels like...

2 ORIGINAL UHER EMPTY PRECISION METAL REEL 7" (7 inch); 1/4" TAKE UP REEL FINE It's strange...I don't see any flower pots in the background.

There's about an hour left on this auction. Do you think these are unused NOS or Re-lapped? With a close up view there seems to be a lot of surface scratches. They don't really have a smooth look to them. I did throw in a few bids, but Im throwing in the towel. SET OF TASCAM MODEL 388...

Just want to ask opinions on this. This is my second 388 that I just put into service. I had this one set up by a tech, but forgot to mention to him about this transport issue. I pretty much told him to just deal with aligning the heads and check levels and bias etc... This has been happening...

Okay. I started a thread like this about a year ago. I did start to do a set up on my second 388 but gave up and sent it off to a tech. Now I have decided to drag my first 388 out and try it for myself. Im not gonna go all out with the frequency response,T.H.D,cross talk,S/N ratio etc... I just...

Though I'd post this for a laugh.I came across a picture of the "Darth Fader" while surfing around. Its just a picture that the people at Pro tools came up with using photoshop. After seeing that, I new I just had to have one being a Star wars fan. So I went out and bought a Vader figure and...

Just a quick question. I just got a new Fender rumble combo amp. It has a DI out on the back. If I wanted to use this with my 388, would I have to get a xlr to 1/4" cord and plug into line in? Im pretty sure I can't use xlr to the 388 xlr mic input right?

Tascam 388

Just bought this for peanuts. One of my many silly impulse buys. Anyone ever heard of the "Impact" brand? The thing with this relic is that it has a British plug on it. So I can't test it right now,that is if it even works. Could I buy one of those travel adapters for the plug? Im just curious...

Thought I'd post this for some interesting reading and pics. Lots of cool gear! CrazyJoe.org - Crazy Joe's Crazy Equipment!

After a month of swearing, I finally finished what I have been wanting to do for a long time. Its a little rough around the edges,but for my first time ever making a piece of "furniture" I'm happy with it. Still need to get a few more rack pieces and I gotta still cable everything up......whew!!!!!!

I just came across this Craigslist posting...Not too far from me. The seller lists that the everything works but the reels won't spin.Also for an extra $100 he'll throw in the 8 channel mixer. $250 for everything...doesn't seem bad, but gotta figure out if it would be an easy fix. Tascam 38 8...
