FedEx says next Monday. The more I look it reminds me a little of the verdigris the greenish goober that would get on toilets on ships. They’re salt water. Thing is coming from Texas. Shipping was a bitch but I’d rather it get here in one piece. I personally shipped my own from LA. (One of the...

So I picked up an MSR-16 as a parts deck. Price was so-so but a trade off. The seller had a video and most functions seemed to work motors, capstan, etc. But there’s rust and corrosion in some of the metal parts and the head stack has some weird corrosion. Sellers photo. I’d like a working or...

There's a thread or two at Tapeheads.net that claim Burlington tape is re-branded Capture and confirmed from a user who says he's the owner of Splicit. no reason to doubt that. Burlington doesn't have published (or didn't last time i checked) spec sheets for their inhouse brand tape which...

Just whipped up? Psychedlic Pstalker

There is (or was) a seller on eBay from Europe selling calibration tapes. Also, JRF is a dealer for MRL, I wonder if they might buy the stock and/or equipment.

i still have a turntable.... A friend of mine asked me if I had a cassette deck as she wanted to digitize a show she did on KUSF back in 80s. I said, "do you really have to ask?" It's not "if" but "how many!" (Actually I only have one, but...)

That's actually what I"m looking for. I found some at Jameco.

I used to have one of those DATA I/O boxes. I bought at an electronics "garage sale" and then sold it to the same guy I bought one of the interchangeable socket attachments from. I used it to program a small prom on an XT motherboard so it could access 1MB of RAM. The XT boards had that chip...

Yes. I checked and I think it's a pretty common programmer: XGecu T48 [TL866-3G]

Want to update the firmware on a couple of Kawai synths. 27C512 EPROMs are currently out of stock at the usual places. I may have found some PROMs. Amazon has EEPROMs available. (Assuming they're not counterfeit but it seems a safish bet. ) I'm not that savvy on this kind of thing. The...

If that’s the case I’d say US$500 would be about right. $700 what I paid for mine 20 years ago

Thanks for the tip. Labeling 1-16 is going to be a chore!

So, wanting to experiment a bit with trance. The songs are pretty formulaic, and one particularl feature the build up ending with a ridiculously fast snare. Trying to find a MIDI file for that. There are plenty of sites that will sell you samples, and advertise MIDI files, but almost all of them...

Thanks. That’s what I initially thought to do and I’ve a couple of 5m TRS snakes in my Thomann basket.

So, I have a Creamware TDAT 16 with TRS balanced I/O which are ring hot of all things. The owners manual says if you use unbalanced make sure your TS connectors only go in "One Position" so you don't short the (+) hot to ground. This would imply that you can use just (+) hot and ground and...
