I have a Blackface with a bad power supply that I'll sell you cheap(or trade ya somethin'?) if you end up needing parts.
 
Yeah, I would say you're best off either buying another machine for parts, or just buying another machine to replace it. A brand new head will cost way more than the machine is worth these days.

Are you offering to sell him a brand new head? I thought you were saying you had a used machine with a bad power supply. Are you saying you have a brand new machine with a bad power supply? :rolleyes:
 
yeah you can get a used adat for $150-$200 dollars. With a tech charging $75 an hour plus the cost of the part you're way over that amount. Just get another and be sure to check the drum hours. I remember when Adats cost $5000. Har har har har har .. .

Digital tape machines are just fancy boat anchors with pretty lights. I have 2 DA-88s that I spent $9000 on when new that aren't worth the $800 to fix them. If you go out and get a cheap ADAT interface, you can still use the converters in the machine as a front end.
