Hello,
In the past I've always posted at group DIY or tapeop for recording related questions, however it seems like this is the place to be for the Tascam 388. A total beater 388 has landed in my lap, I won't bore you with the entire back story but it was free and it is not in good shape. For starters the bias cards and power supply card have been pulled out. I'm having a heck of a time getting the power supply card to seat properly, is there a trick to it?
I'm thinking the first thing to do is just get it to a state where I can turn it on and check basic signal flow and transport functions in order to asses the scope of the project.
I have a nice copy of the manual.
As a side note, I won't actually have the 388 in my hands for another two weeks. It's being given to me by a friend, the unit is at his house and he'll be away (for two weeks). We checked it out together last night and tried to get the PSU card back in, but kept bending some of the pins. I know it might be a bit early to start asking questions since theres nothing I can do at the moment, but I'm excited to get the ball rolling.
Thanks friends.
