It's been a very long time since I made a new thread here. This isn't so much about analog recording gear, but about a piece of instrumentation you may need to use to service analog recording gear. I obtained a Tektronix R7603 oscilloscope recently. It has a NASA asset tag on it, so I am not...

This guitar is in the family. I had no idea what kind of guitar it was, until I spotted a curious stamp. H. Weissenborn Los Angeles, CA. I knew it was old. It was purchased in the 1940s by my great grandfather, and he told me that at the time, it was 40 years old when he bought it. This may be...

If you own a Rhodes piano, and it's stock, you may have worn out hammer tips. VintageVibe.com sells new hammer tips. Thing is, you've gotta get the old one off first. They have many a video on how to do this, but those old tips are glued on. You need to cut them off somehow, and the videos all...

Nixie tubes are so awesome. But, they're rare, and expensive. This guy is making new nixie tubes from scratch in his workshop: Dalibor Farný » Homemade nixies Here's one example of a guy who repurposed a circa 1975 nixie tube digital scale into a clock: http://localroger.com/nixie/nixie.html...

The whole "wire and wax" bit of the description of this forum seems like a half-joke, til you actually own one. I have a Webster Chicago wire recorder. Don't ask me why I have it. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting to own one.... but now I do!! It turns on, transport works, but I have no wire...

Hey y'all, There's a possibility that I might be picking up a console stereo soon. Don't worry it's free. I believe it's an RCA Victor brand though it's been a long time since I saw it in person. Not sure what model. I believe it's got an LP player, radio, and a quarter-track reel to reel...

Here's a fun video to watch, whether or not you're a fan of MCI tape machines: Pimp My Tape Machine

In no way am I trying to be a jerk and "gum up" the forum.... but you guys are always so awesome and responsive. No one so far has responded to this thread in the Keyboards forum. https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/keyboards-sound-modules/yamaha-pf-2000-questions-324756/ Any...

Does anyone here have any experience with, or own a Yamaha PF 2000? A friend of mine is offering it in good working order, only without sustain pedal, for 75 bucks - which seems like a hell of a deal for a working, in good shape 88 key weighted keyboard. I was thinking about using it as a...

A band I'm in will have an opportunity to record an EP at a studio here in Austin that has both a Studer A827 2" 24 track, and an Otari MTR-90 II 2" 24 track. 2" tape is killer expensive, so we will probably be able to use some extra tapes at the studio (maybe ones that have only been used for...

I just snagged a Western Digital 2 Terabyte external hard drive at Target for $69 bucks :eek: I couldn't pass it up.... I paid at least $130 or so for a 2 TB hard drive and enclosure about 6 months ago or so..... It's absolutely ridiculous how cheap digital storage is becoming. Let's see...

For those Hammond nuts out there like me, I was surprised to have never noticed the Novachord before. (heard the name. seen "novachord" as the title of some of the patches on my synthesizer......didn't think of where it originated from....) This is awesome...

Check it out: http://www.ampex.com I didn't even think to look them up, but I suppose it's the same company, just with an entirely different market focus.

Hello everyone, I am about to embark on a research project on the effects of digital technology on companies that manufacture analog tape. It's gotta be legitimate, and so I figured, what better topic to elaborate on than this? I'm looking for the following data and am having a hard time...

You think this guy is qualified enough to build an analog tape machine from scratch? http://www.casemods.ru/section10/item490/part1/

Sorry guys, I couldn't contain myself. Had to share this video :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEigvdbzia8&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fnerddads%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded

This is exciting shit: http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/hubble_servicing/ It awakens the space nerd in me :cool: T minus 50 minutes til launch :D

Bob Dylan - Hurricane Just took a closer listen of this song, and was a bit thrown for a loop with just how MUCH tape saturation is on this mix. I don't have the entire 'Desire' album, just this one song. Like many, I dig the effects tape can have on a mix, but I'm going to have to say that...

How often have you purchased a CD, and opened the case, and began thumbing through the booklet, only to see an entire page dedicated to an "analog apology?" I've purchased a few classic albums on CD format, and they just have to say that the record was recorded using analog equipment, and is...
