    let me see your studio!

    Studio update. I've added some gear, refined, stored a bunch of gear, sold some, bought some more, etc. rinse. repeat. as you do. :) I'm really happy with this little space and how easy it is to pull out cords, stands, mics, patch them in, record via tape (16 or 2), record via computer thru MOTU...

    Yes, they did their job!! Honestly, I had no idea how much weight the power supply pulls, not just electricity but channeling it into so many different voltages and the protections… Super happy that I own this mixer, it sounds amazing and I was really sad thinking I’d have to move on from it...

    So far so good, no issues as of yet (hope I don’t jinx it!). I used the console from Wednesday to last night, multiple channels, multiple busses, Aux effects, etc. All seems well. I hope it stays that way for a while before needing any major repairs. Thanks again for all your help @sweetbeats, I...

    I trust you and your immense knowledge of all things Tascam for sure! I have been extremely lucky with my M-520 and PS-520 as well as my MS-16. The previous owner took good care of them. He is 91 this year and I have not spoken to him in 2 years to know more about what maintenance was done over...

    It will be a few weeks before I can get up to my tech (2 hours away) and it might be a little while before he can look at it. I spoke with another tech that specializes in mixers/sound systems up in branson, mo area. He is also the closest Roland warranty repair person and worked on one of my...

    Thanks for the video, I did those measurements. 1-3 ohms on all the ones you spec'd. Did the plug to each, 0 continuity. Did the plugged in measurements and they came out roughly what you said, 36V blue, 51V red, 11V orange, 40V yellow.

    Thanks @sweetbeats! I have sent your comments and video to my friend who knows much more than I do and has the gear/knowledge to do what your talking about. I’ll report back when I get some answers.

    Tascam M520 Story...

    It's a craftsman from sears like 30 yrs ago and probably more for car electronics. I can make a video. Yes, the AC was 0 on both +/- 15vdc adn +/- 18vdc when the fuses were dead. I have a tech 2 hours away with a scope, he mentioned that to me earlier when I reported to him my findings. He said...

    Okay, new fuses are in, and rechecked voltages. *Pins 1/2 (positive probe) & 8/9 (COM probe), this should measure close to +15VDC, and 0VAC (this is the positive audio power rail) +15VDC VAC meter jumps around from 29, then 5ish, then 0 and cycles that way. *Pins 14/15 (positive probe) & 8/9...
