    Tascam TSR8 pinch roller rubber turns to gunk, replacement advice.

    My TSR8 pinch roller rubber has turned to soft & sticky gunk & I need a replacement. Seems that Ebay listings for Tascam OEM pinch rollers are expensive, & might suffer in future from the exact same problems that mine & many others have had. So it's a choice between Terry's rubber rollers, but...

    Tascam MX2424 SCSI HD mobile rack caddy type.

    Hi, Does anyone know what SCSI hard drive caddy goes on the front bay / internal drive on the Tascam MX2424? I'm looking to buy one second hand to use with my Lucid 88193 AES/EBU interface but many of them seem to have the front drive/caddies missing. I'm assuming that SCSI 3 LVD 68pin caddy...

    More adventures in Midiizerland!!!!

    I've been helping another local poster on here who lives nearby, optionalanalog, with troubleshooting his system, slaving a MSR16 to a TSR8 via the Midiizer. The MSR16 loses sync after 12-20 seconds & then has to chase & lock again & again. So first we checked the heads of the MSR16 with a...

Also if I leave the machine on for longer...

    Punch in to record footswitches

    I've tried a couple of momentary type footswitches on both my recorders Fostex E-16 & Tascam TSR-8 & had the same problem on both. I have to press twice to engage record & to also disengage record functions. It's the same as using an old guitar amp footswitch I have. I'm assuming that both...

    Just picked up a Revox MkIII PR99 machine as DHL wrecked my Studer A807 but that's another story! As this Revox was a "BBC Chart Show radio broadcast" machine with VU's but no level controls, I assume looking at a .pdf manual I have that it was originally set up for BASF / EMTEC 468? I have a...
