Hi all, i am in the process of cleaning up that Soundcraft 32 that i got. Well...it is very dirty and it has 361 knobs/faders. Any recommendations to clean that, like putting them in some water/soap solution for a day or two or alcohol ? i'm sure someone has done this in the past. But...

Just got my studer A807. It works but it has a problem. AS i was doing a full check up i saw something strange on the brakes, so i calibrated the brakes, and i found that the left motor is always running, even with no tape installed on the machine. By simply powering on the machine, the left...

Hi, does anyone here knows well the Studer A807 ? i ran into a deal and wanted to get some advice, here is what i saw: Heads: They have some wear and one of them is starting to show some uneven wear, i think they need to be relapped. Not sure how much will that be for these heads maybe in the...

I have outgrown my mackie 16-8, which works quite nice, it is an inline console, which is what i am looking for. one option is to expand with the 24E module that adds 24 channels to my mackie. Another option that i saw was the Soundcraft Ghost 24 or 32. WHich seems to be a very nice console...

After years of looking for a decent one, i finally found an AQ-65 for my MS16 machine. Thanks to a very nice member of this forum that sold it to me :) Now i am trying to improvise a roll around cart for it. Like the original Tascam CS-64 that was designed for it. Any ideas on what to use...

There is a local deal on a Soundcraft Series 2 32 channel. It has one bad channel and bus subgroup 1 & 2 not working. I can't find a service manual online. Does anyone knows if this console is fixable ? or is it all proprietary ICs ? i wonder if anyone has experience with this one around...

As i am endlessly home building an AQ-65 clone. I need to find the ELCO 38 connector that goes in the back of the MS16. I can find some for like $40-$50 with pins, cover, etc, any ideas of an alternate source with lower prices ? thanks

Ok, as some of you may remember, I've been trying to develop my own autolocator for a while now. Here is a demo of where I am at the moment. It shows the prototype and the TSR8 with SPOOL mode enabled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga07qtdoU8w Take a look

Does anyone knows what the "LOAD" button is for on these machines and how does it work ? thanks

Hi, i recently bought an RC848 to turn it into a remote for a TSR8. Does anyone knows how the unit gets power ? it does not from the ACC2 port and it does not have a power adapter input. I wonder if it gets it through the port that goes to the DA88. Does anyone has schematics for this ? thanks

Hi, i am in the process of developing a home made remote for my MS16 and TSR8 as it is basically impossible to locate an AQ-65. One guy in chicago is asking $1k for one... Anyway so i am developing one and i mentioned it in other threads, so better create one here. Big thanks for Ghost of...

Hi all, I am working on a potential autolocator for tascam RtRs, both parallel and serial. Does anyone has scanned/PDF manuals for: AQ-65 MSR24 remote MSR16 remote Thanks. It will help me a lot to understand all the functions that exist in these units.

I bought a "new" pinch roller for my MS16 on a "well known online audio shop" (not ebay), although i have one that is fully rerubbered by terry and completely flat, when i received the "new" one i noticed that it is convex or barrel shaped a little when put on a flat surface. When i called the...

Hi, I have a noisy and fluttery capstan on my MS16, how hard is to replace the bearings on that motor ? has anyone done this ? thanks

While trying to BIAS the MS16, i am running into the following issue: -Tape is SM911 RMGI -I put a 10khz -10VU signal (also tried at 0 VU) As i start moving the BIAS trimmer, the level comes up up, it reaches the end of the VU meter and never reaches a peak. THe peak is the end of the BIAS...

Hi, i am in the process of adjusting my MS16 and i can see how the tape fluctuates slightly up and down on the heads and right side guide. Not enough to get off the guides or rub them hard, but as i look closer the tape wobbles up and down causing amplitude variations on the audio signal...

Hi, i am in the middle of my MS16 adjustment. There is a very slight tape curling on the upper end of the right side tape guide. Already tried adjusting it from the right tension roller height with no luck. THe left tension roller height works fine , but the right one only has impact over...

Hi, i wanted to know if there is a link between bias levels and crosstalk and track width. If i bias a tape machine for +6 or +9 is it an issue if i am doing 16 tracks on 1" or 8 tracks on 1/2" ? is the track width too narrow to do that ? I've heard from someone that high bias (above 250nW/m)...
