Hey guys, so I just drove 20 hours round trip and bought a Tascam 388 that’s in killer almost mint condition. Was the original owner, in the box, in the plastic with the Tascam 112 and some Other stuff. He hadn’t used it in 15 years or so...so I took a risk, I know...soo here’s my problem:
Channel 7 is dead. I think It has to be an input issue because I swapped the 5& 7 card and put it into card slot 1 and I could get The VU’s passing audio.
That’s the least of my issues...
My MAIN problem is that channels 1-4 are not recording at all. I swapped 1 & 3’s cards with channels 5/7 and it’s the same issue so it’s not the cards right? I’m getting sound in the monitors and the VU’s are bouncing but nothing is being recorded. I thought it could be the record head but it’s not scratched and looks really good too me. And When I put an old tape on it all channels besides 7 (dead channel) are playing back sound so for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get 1-4 recording. Any help would greatly APPRECIATED!!
(And yes I did every step too record properly. I have the Manual and have talked to others who own the 388)
Thank you!!
