Hello, I previously posted about a Tascam MSR-16 I purchased. It seemed in pretty good shape. I had no tape so I could not completely check the transport and Play/Rec functions. While checking the input's (from my M-520's Oscillator). I noticed track 16 had a different reaction to the signal...

I've been watching the flee-bay for 1/2 format used Quantegy 456 (or equivalent). I'm not seeing much. Is this a problem? I'm looking for used, as I just want to check the transport, and functions of a MSR-16, I just purchased. Ron

Hello, I picked up a MSR16 last week, It appears really clean, and pretty low mileage. The heads seem to have light wear, and the rubber looks good. But as I have no 1/2" tape (having sold all the ones I had) previously. I can't actually check the R/P functions. I did however, send a few signals...

Hello, Does anyone know if the reel motors on the Teac X2000 model r/r can be lubed? I am considering getting one that possibly has a problem on one. Owner says the supply motor gives a high pitch squeal. I saw a listing on ebay for a maintenance kit that includes belts and some oil. If...

After 12 years my ol' Tascam 388 has come back to me. I gave it to a family member. It was mint!! and also had the owners manual, A wired remote, and one...cool custom built, wood tilting,rolling stand. I hope to get the stand back soon also. Anyway after giving it a quick run through I've...

Here is Mine! :D

Hello, Got a DAT Recorder..cheap..Probably should have been free!:facepalm: The more I learn. So I'm clueless about this "R" in the term R-DAT. The unit is an Otari DTR-8S. The manual says to use R-DAT Tape. It came with no tape, So I need at least one to test it out. My question is does it have...

Hello, Anyone know where I can get a free download of the user/service manual for this model? I thought AnalogRules.com was a good place but when I downloaded the manual under the MSR16 link I got the MS-16 Manual . That's very cool..cept I don't need another copy of that. I just purchased one...

That's what I did!:D

I have a Cal. tape for 1" machine. It is for 15 ips. It is sticky, and would probably be OK if baked. I'm wondering is this of any value? I know these aren't cheap. But I also know, these are not used that often. Thanks

Thanks Jiff. But... I think the layout is different in in the Imperial theme, and not covered in the Reaper manual. Maybe I'm wrong, but I couldn't get the same response from the Imperial theme as the Reaper videos that I have studied.

I'm hoping to get some advice from some of you. I had a Mint Teac X2000R R/R I bought this deck in 2002 thinking I would use it for my analog studio I was putting together at home. My needs went in another direction in the form of a 1/4 half track. Anyway, point is.. I never really used this...

Found this in a MTS 1000 Manual PDF you posted awhile back fgonza2. A lot of these connectors look to fill the doubt.

I need some help identifying some cables that came with my Tascam MS-16. I suspect some are for synchronizers but what ones? One appears, to even have a Fostex type connector! A couple others are probably for remotely locating the DBX units? See... Picture #7. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9
