Hi,
I have a problem that unfortunately needs to be solved urgently since I start a recording session tomorrow. So I´m most greatful for any help.
It´s a Fostex model 80, 8 track machine. It has until recently worked fine and I havent had the reason to get in to alligning, just isopropyl on the heads.
The only thing that´s new about my setup is a couple of new tapes, RMG lpr35, brand new, not used. I have mostly used scotch 207´s before with good results.
Now with the new ones I started experience dropouts and found that these were due to the tape slipping on the rubber wheel, the driving wheel next after the heads. I can´t see that anything is visibly wrong in the tape path. No weel seems to have been bent or anything. And when I try my old tapes the slipping is still there, maby not as bad. I don´t think the rmg´s have left flakes or particles on the heads so could they mess up the rubber wheel?
What can I do, any bad experiences with RMG lpr35? Any experience with slipping tape? Please!?
Thank for your time/b
