New toy! 1/4 mastering deck

[Talldog]

Check it out my analog family! I've been searching for a good mix down deck for a while to stay in the analog realm (plus I'll get to watch TWO decks spinning at once) and finally found an MCI jh110 that I couln't pass up. The engineer in Nashville that I got it from (Chris Mara, great guy) brought it up himself, did the alignment AND aligned and teched out my ms 16 and mx70!

What a beautiful deck! Congrats on the score!

Oh my. I am officially jealous.

[Dogbreath]

AND HE SCORES!




Very nice man. Congrats....

[Herm]

THats pretty.

[sweetbeats]

nnnnnnnnniiiiiice...VERY cool, and really cool that he aligned your decks onsight, like the old days. Learn anything new when he did the alignment that you can share? Always interested in how a pro tech goes about it...way cool.

Congrats!!

P.S. "Two" decks? C'MON! TURN ALL THREE ON AT ONCE!!!

[mastercontrolme]

Say hi to Chris for me. I recently had him transfer a 16 track 2" tape to digital for a customer of mine.

[Talldog]

And he got to keep the tape I bet.

I must say that I've always wanted a jh-110b. Very nice machine. I keep scanning CraigsList but nothing that I can afford yet....

Lots of info on the care and feeding. Do you know if yours has the dreaded red IC sockets?

Envious!

[Talldog]

No red ic sockets. This one is also ready to convert to 1/2 inch tape, assuming you buy the heads, tape guides, etc. But if I DID want to spend the $1000 or so it would just plug and play.

[analogkid]

Awesome score! That is REALLY cool that he aligned the deck for you, you can't even buy that kind of service any longer..

Nah, he returned the tape and a dvd with 16 tracks of two songs. He did good.

[Talldog]

I have no doubt he did a good job. He'll usually knock a couple bucks off if you lett him keep the tape. He likes used tape.
