Hello everyone, my first post here.
I have recently switched from Tascam 488 mk2 to 38 reel to reel and Im having some problems:
Sometimes, during winding and right after approaching the end of tape (after hitting stop button bit too late) the motor stops, but then It starts to wind the other way, and wont react on stop button, so I have to shut the machine off. Is that normal?
Another question: I got a second hand unused calibration tape that works at 355 nWb/m (it was was soppose to be used for tascam 58) but manual says that a proper rate for 38 is 250 nWb. I would be quite unhappy if I had to get another test tape (200 dollars) Is there a way to use the one i got?
Please let me know if you know anything.
