I may not get it for a while honestly. The next couple of months are going to be pretty unstable in terms of my living situation. Who knows? If it's still on the market, the seller might drop the price even more

Wow. I feel like I have a lot more questions now ? But thank you for all of the info! I haven't gotten into the circuitry yet of consoles, but that's something I plan on getting into in the future. I'll take your advice on getting the 512. Since you brought it up, do you know what I could google...

Would love to hear it!

Oh gotcha. The 520 has better routing from what I've found, but do you know anything about the pres?

Hey all, Currently looking at getting an old console. I found an: - M320 on FaceBook for $800 (untested) - M520 on Craigslist for $400 (tested) Looking for info on the: - The sound quality of both - Build quality of both (I'd like to be able to fix it if I need to) - Any other thoughts...

Thanks! I'll copy-paste this over there then

I've found another question yet again. I posted the link of those correction tapes on GennLabs, but I did some more research and found there are some speed alignment and tape callibration tapes on eBay for much cheaper. Do you think these would work...

Ok awesome. That's pretty reassuring. I was thinking about getting some big linesman gloves, but I think I have some work gloves that should do the trick if I get nervous. Thank you so much for all of your help. Is there anything else you think I should know before I start going to work on my...

Oh ok that makes sense. Yeah I think I understand the difference between Wow and Flutter Meter and a Frequency Counter. The Wow and Flutter measures the bearings and and belts and the motor. The Frequency measures the overall record/playback speed of the machine. Is that correct?

Ohhh ok. That makes much more sense. Let me see if I can sum it all up again and let me know if I'm understanding correctly. I have one more question, but I want to ask that after me restating everthing: I need a: - Service manual - MTT111 tape recorded at 3Khz - Frequency Counter - Wow and...

Ok, so frequency counter would output the frequency that is being played, and that shows what adjustments need to be made. That makes sense. So, would I need a different kind of tape to use a wow and flutter meter? Do they just measure the fluctuations of a normal cassette tape? Because that...

One more question, is a frequency counter and a wow and flutter meter the same thing? I think I started using them interchangeably by mistake. Thanks!

Awesome thanks so much for all of the information! Glad I was able to help you out as well. That guy has a pretty awesome YouTube channel too: https://youtube.com/c/Tetrakan And for those reading through this, here is everything you need and the links: - service manual...
