Hi, I recently bought a 488 MKII from a friend of mine, and I'm having some issues recording on channels 4 and 5. I'm assuming it could be an erase head issue... I say that because I can record audio onto those channels on a clean tape. But if there is audio on its channel(s) and I attempt to record, the old audio is still there, and the new audio barely comes through. I can route those channels to record audio onto other channels just fine, so I'm positive the strips are okay.
Is there a way to go about fixing this? Also, where is the erase head in the 488? I see the record head and the split play head(s), alongside this black plastic piece which I'm assuming guides the tape.
I really would love to get this thing working properly. Thanks in advance for any help and advice you guys might have to give me.
