Tried a quick search for those connectors with no luck. Here's the TSR8 rec/play PCB socket part list. Plus you also need the compatible plugs.

The DBX 1252 VCA looks like it has tarnished / rusty legs, I replaced a disintegrated resistor on this rec / playback PCB a few years back when it wasn't working, they are carbon film & there might be others out of spec? There seems to have been some fluid that got onto this card. I've tried to...

My TSR8 pinch roller rubber has turned to soft & sticky gunk & I need a replacement. Seems that Ebay listings for Tascam OEM pinch rollers are expensive, & might suffer in future from the exact same problems that mine & many others have had. So it's a choice between Terry's rubber rollers, but...

Hi, Does anyone know what SCSI hard drive caddy goes on the front bay / internal drive on the Tascam MX2424? I'm looking to buy one second hand to use with my Lucid 88193 AES/EBU interface but many of them seem to have the front drive/caddies missing. I'm assuming that SCSI 3 LVD 68pin caddy...

I've been helping another local poster on here who lives nearby, optionalanalog, with troubleshooting his system, slaving a MSR16 to a TSR8 via the Midiizer. The MSR16 loses sync after 12-20 seconds & then has to chase & lock again & again. So first we checked the heads of the MSR16 with a...

Tascam HQ in Montbella CA USA have offered to send me replacement EPROM's for my faulty Tascam MTS-1000 Midiizer, but only to a USA address. I did sent countless Emails & left many voicemails, & even sent a letter to Tascam UK saying that Tascam USA actually have the parts available for them...

Anyone had trouble with the channel cards on the Tascam TSR8? My playback levels are intermittent & lower on the first four channels I have air dusted & cleaned the cards with PCB cleaner & it made a difference although the same problem is still there. Also if I leave the machine on for longer...

Many of the first & second generation of digital hard disk / tape based recorders & associated various associated interfaces from the late '80's to mid '90's have become obsolete & redundant over the last few years & are becominging worthless as they are replaced with the latest technology...

My Revox PR99 MK III seems to have some big problems, reverse & fast forward work as normal but play doesn't engage at all, the capstan wheel seems to go around quite slowly I'm sure that this is not normal? Opened the back & it seems that it's a direct drive machine & doesn't have a capstan...

Got a Midiizer for £50.00 but without the cables & manual, looks too complicated to use without a manual so was wondering if anyone here has a scanned or .pdf version? Also any information on the cables needed or will trade & / or buy some that would be great I suppose I'll have to track some...

So Zonal according to this advert are making 820 1/2" tape (406 type compatible). It comes on a 6 screw metal reel as well judging by the listing. I've emailed the seller (who seems to be located where Zonal is made?) to find out more & wondering if there are any other formulations available...
