    So whats going on with those old 4 track recorders prices?

    Found this Yamaha MT 120, 2 speed, 4 track. Going for about $240 AUD. interestingly, it has switchable DBX. I wonder if it would be compatible with tapes made on a Tascam 244. The speeds are switchable but not variable as on my 244. This is from the same shop I bought the Fostek 4 track. They...

    Tascam 244 cassettes on a Fostek X28....will it play ok?

    I have found a Fostek X28 cassette multitrack in a Bangkok used shop. Wonder is this old Fostek any good, worth buying? It's condition is unknown but told working. Around $100. I plan to take a cassette recorded on a Tascam 244 to see if it will play, although worried that the Tascam DBX...

    Is this old Fostek any good, worth buying? It's condition is unknown but told working. Around $100. I plan to take a cassette recorded on a Tascam 244 to see if it will play although worried that DBX might cause playback issues plus will the tape speed be the same?

    Tascam 244 control buttons

    I am in the middle of getting my old 244 going too. I cut some plastic off a clear blister pack into small strips and super glued them back on. Seems to have worked well but not back together yet to test it.

    Cassette recording from 244 playback on other model/machine?

    Hi, if I can't get my Tascam 244 repaired, is it possible to play the old tapes on another 244 or other "cassette" model? Need to digitally transfer old cassettes and keep the 4 tracks separate. I know it would be best to use my original 244 but would I have any extra trouble with the quality...

    Tascam 244 capstan belt...where to buy?

    Hi, have a Tascam Portastudio 244 that we did all our early band demos on back in Australia back in the day. My friend turned it on and as suspected, the belts have probably perished. He said he can hear the motor spinning fast. I will visit him soon from my home in Bangkok and plan to digitise...
