new here,
purchased a vintage tascam 688, wanted a step up from my digital tascam 4 track and I think I bit off more than I can chew. I paid premium price and shipping from netherland to USA and the tape deck isn't working.
a few months ago seemed like there were tons of these for sale and then right before my birthday noticed this one for sale on reverb.com and couldn't find any other ones anywhere.
the tape deck isn't working.
any idea on how to get this thing working? the seller said it was fullyfunctional when they put it up for sale but I can't get it working. found some well done youtube videos on it and I have a signal and the track armed I think but the tape deck won't record, play or fastward or rewind! It works for a split second and then stops. It is also eating the tape a little bit.
