I just got a Tascam 44. Not the model with the NR or the one with the inputs, but im still pretty happy because it was 135 bucks and it was local. The dude even brought it to my house. So far the belt looks good, the pinch roller looks good, the heads look good, and everything lights up. I tested it out with an old crappy tape and it plays and records, i just wont know the full extent of its sound until a better tape arrives in the mail in a few days.
I had a few questions however:
1. What kind of 1/4" NAB hubs should i be looking for and how do they mount?
2. Does the standard remote that works with the 30 series work with the 44?
3. Does anyone here have any experience with this machine?
4. What years were these made?
So far even with the bad tape test i can tell that im going to like the sound of it. It reminds me of my old 38 but slightly more "vintagey". And for me its a really nice feature to be able to go 7.5 or 15 ips since im a big fan of tape manipulation for sound effects.
Thanks for any information you might be able to give.
Oh and btw, its this older 44, not the newer ones:

All i could find so far is that these are the non-teac version of the 40-4, and that they dont have as solid of a transport. Also, these ones have a pitch control knob (thank god).
