Hi Does anyone know where I could get a couple of slider/ faders for a Tascam Porta 05 HS. I am in the UK. Many thanks in anticipation Harry

I have just acquired a Tascam Porta 05 HS to copy some old tapes (I needed the high speed). Does anyone know where I could get a belt set and three black knob inserts for the channel controls or three complete knobs (the large ones) Thanks in anticipation.

Hi I have some very old 4 track tapes of my son singing when he was 10 years old ( he's 37 now) done on a tascam 244 4 track. I no longer have a 4 track recorder and wonder if any of you kind people out there would kindly make me up a CD of the three songs I need. I don't think they will need...

I am hoping that you knowledgeable people out there can help me with this query. I have damaged the top panel on my 2488 neo and have sourced a new one from USA which I will fit myself (hopefully). How do I remove the fader sliders and knobs without damaging them. They appear to be fitted very...

I know this is a longshot but does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a new black / silver plastic top panel (excluding sliders and knobs) for my 2488 neo. I have damaged the existing one and need to replace it. I have written to Tascam (USA and Europe) but as yet I have had no reply...

My PC is very noisy when I am downloading stuff to my Tascam 2488. I get a sort of ticking and sizzling sound which is so annoying. Is this my sound card or something else, I would really appreciate any help/suggestions from you knowledgeable folk. Thanks in anticipation.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to connect a compresser/limiter to a 2488 for use just for vocals. I have been led to believe that it is better to connect the microphone direct to the compresser/limiter as opposed to using an effects channel. My microphone is 48v phantom powered so how do I...

Hi Does anyone know the specs of the mains transformer for a DMT 8vl. Many thanks in anticipation

I have recorded a load of material onto my 2488 neo without numbering or naming the songs (I know - but it's a long story). The hard drive is now full and I was wondering which is the easiest way to delete some of the material to free up space. Is it safe to use the "delete unused" function or...

Hi Having just obtained my 2488 neo I am still struggling to master it. I have accidentally deleted some stuff I really didn't mean to delete with the "clean out" function. Is this now lost forever or is there anyway to recover these tracks. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi I have followed previous instructions from some of you knowledgeable guys out there of how to use an external effect on my 2488 neo. I am getting some effect through but if I try to increase it all I get is horrendous feedback. If someone would please go through the set up step by step I...

Hi I have for sale a vintage Tascam 246 cassette portastudio. It has had new belts, idler tyres, and pinch roller fitted it has also had all switches lubricated and the heads have been de-gaussed. It is in excellent working condition given it's age. I am open to offers for this machine.

Does the 2488 Neo have pitch control. I used to find it very handy on the old cassette based portastudios Thanks in anticipation
