removing tascam 38 hub adaptors?

[bloomboy]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them off! even after unscrewing the center screw and washer and removing the front cover, I can't find any other screws. Is it just permenantly attatched with some sort of adhesive? Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I've searched it pretty extensively and not found anything.

They're not permanently fixed, because you can buy new ones. On the TSR-8 you remove the screw and they should slide off. I don't know about the 38 though.

Yes, I've done this many times. Unscrew and pull it up. Sometimes it seats firmly if it hasn't been taken off for many years, so pull harder!

I dont remember how many but there are set screws under the reel that hold them to the motor shaft that have to be loosened. Its a pain in the ass. Make sure and measure the height of the reel holders so that you get them in the same spot when you put them back on.

This is true, but I think he's only trying to replace the NAB adaptor not remove the entire reel table...

Yes you are right and I dont know what I was thinking.

Yep, turns out I was just too nervous to pull hard enough the first time

Thanks for the help
