Hi folks, new here! *S*..my R8 will playback old recordings fine and when set to input monitoring the leds light up but on playback the tape is wiped clean, no music recorded. Any idea what it could be? I really need it to finish some work I started a decade ago. I'm in Sydney Australia and the Fostex people say they arent qualified to repair reel to reels!! lol..how time flies.
 
Hi,

When you say the tape is wiped clean, do you mean it's erasing the tape in play mode, or are you putting the deck into record and it's erasing but not recording?

Cheers, Bryan
