This is a long shot...but does anyone have any service information on the Rola 77 mk III reel to reel? The Rola is a pro Australian deck, manufactured from the 60's to early 70's, which was used extensively in broadcasting. A couple of steps up from the Ferrograph. I've just picked up one...

I've been asked to help with some repairs/restoration on a Tascam 106 mixer. Is anyone familiar with these beasts or, better still, has anyone got service information/schematics for one? Thanks Andrew

(ignore this, a duplicate thread)

A while ago I mentioned that I'd picked up a 1936 Ekco SW86 radio which I'm planning to restore. Haven't had a chance to start work on it yet, but I just took some photos of the knobs for a guy in the UK who was restoring a similar domestic model (the AD86) which was missing them. Thought I'd...

Hi - just spotted this. Potentially quite a find if you're a NZ or Australian resident (i.e. able to join Trademe). http://www.trademe.co.nz/Music-instruments/Pro-Audio-DJ-Equipment/Other/auction-57026737.htm

Just spotted this, it probably just needs the solenoid cleaned/rubber replaced and possibly a switch or relay replaced. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Music-instruments/Other/auction-53744556.htm (note you need to be a NZ or Australian resident to join trademe.co.nz)

OK, this is probably more for some of the members who remember 70's music and recording. Last week I was given the new 2 disc SACD re-release of "War of the Worlds" for my birthday (not that I can play the SACD layer yet!). Other than the fact that it has the dumbest packaging known to man...

Just spotted this on eBay - is it just me, or does this thing look like its had a hard life? http://cgi.ebay.com/TASCAM-MSR-16-16-CHANNEL-REEL-MULTITRACK-RECORDER_W0QQitemZ7371875217QQcategoryZ41480QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Also I finally found an MSR-16 in NZ, unfortunately it was...

I know that the Vortexion recorders (based on the same deck as the Ferrograph) are quite rare, but I think this is getting a little expensive.... :eek: I've seen series 4 stereo Ferrographs going locally for the equivalent of < US$100. I think this is based on the series 6 Wearite deck (the...

I'm looking at an application using a cart machine (NAB carts) to fire a message automatically into a radio programme feed, triggered by a relay closure on a satellite receiver. At the moment I'm arranging cart machines etc (Sonifex) but after talking to the guys I'm getting them from it sounds...

Hi - I'm embarking on a smallish project in which I plan to use a Sonifex NAB cart machine controlled by relay closures from a satellite feed. Does anyone have tech info on this? The machines I'm borrowing are probably coming with it, but I'd like to start designing things this weekend and...
