Would this scope work for my needs? 2 channel 50mhz and a good price https://emona.com.au/products/electronic-test-measure/oscilloscopes/ds1052e.html Or this newer 4 channel version https://emona.com.au/products/electronic-test-measure/oscilloscopes/ds1054z.html

Yeah, this is why I was looking for a low mV accurate DMM, good to know a scope is needed to measure this so will put my focus on that. Basically want to find the mV rating for the LPR35 so I can then adjust it like that instead of doing the 2 head Bias dance every time. Measure & note the...

Haha its true, i'm well and truly lost and this is all way over my head, but it's a good read and I appreciate the discussion. I'm after True RMS because Sweetbeats recommended I make sure it has it. The triggering reason for a new multimeter is to get something that'll help in all my...

Ok, so the scope research is doing my head in, so i'm looking for a Fluke 85 second hand. Is the 85 III decent for my needs? Seems to be ok deals on it but are there True RMS models or are they all True RMS? I'm reading conflicting specs out there.

Hell yeah, they're the best and probably one of the more supported units as to being used and maintained these days. I love mine.

The multimeter I linked to is 45Hz~1kHz which seems it won’t cut it, but it is true rms. I don’t have 1k to drop on a Fluke at the moment so just trying to understand what specs I need that’ll serve me well for my tape machines, synths and samplers mainly.

Thanks

Ok great, thanks! Any tips on the type of scope to get? It’s like walking into a field of bees and asking to find the one that makes leatherwood honey lol

Heyo, TLDR; I need a multimeter that will relatively accurately measure mV down to about 50mV. I'm not an electronics guy, but i'm slowly learning the important things I need to do to keep my Tascam 388s, 426, 112, Space Echo, old synths & samplers etc running well. So the main reason I want...

Man these abandoned threads kill me. I'm currently learning about Biasing so I can do my machine now that Maxell 35 90 is drying up, and i'll be swapping between my stock of that and RTM LPR35 as I make the transition. So I need to get it down so I can set it up for the LPR. Reading through...

Ok great, is it hard to get into tape doors? Just thinking of how if angle it on my 246

I'm looking for a demagnetizer for my Tascam 388, but will also want to use it on my Tascam 246 4 track, Roland Space Echo & various cassette players. Is a Han-D-Mag overkill for the cassette stuff? Would a Teac E1 work or is the E3 the safest bet for an all round demag due to its shape & size?

Yeah I read that thread when I first did this on my 388. R212 just affects the right tension roller from memory. You got a copy of the manual?

I think it could be a tension roller adjustment. I think it’s R112 and R212 under the top panel. And you adjust them with a tiny screwdriver. Here’s a cut n paste from A Tape Op thread; Step 1: First, power on your 388. Take off top cover of 388, behind the VU meters and above the in's and...

Great thank you. Trying to get the parts through a more reputable local supplier but good to know those will work.

Thanks for the rundown. Still not too sure on how to discern the differences, but slowly learning. Would this part work? Seems to be the same https://www.jaycar.com.au/4011-quad-2-in-nand-gate-cmos-ic/p/ZC4011?pos=1&queryId=6d395ff18159130d634f74bf1c074f2a&sort=relevance Just those Mouser...

I’ve been looking at this one but there’s so many options I’m happy for any recommendations from real world use https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ZD-915-Pro-Digital-Desoldering-Station-Vacuum-Gun-Sucker-Rework-Station-LCD/324146944561?

Thanks for the replies & guidance, I appreciate it. I'm learning as I go with maintaining this stuff as there's no techs in Tasmania and I figure I should learn how to upkeep this stuff. Well, just off recommendations really, and because I have a spare machine I thought 'why not learn...' as...

So the link on tapeop to Sweetbeats recap thread is dead and I’m looking to recap the audio cards and monitor pcb of my 388 I’ve got a mouser list for the audio cards but wondering how to figure out what needs to be replaced on the Monitor PCB. ive never recapped anything before so I’m keen to...

It’s all just a way to take up time. A good preamp is reliable, loads of headroom and quiet. That’s it. Sure some might sound better than others but most ‘decent’ ones will result in the same thing once all the other variables are in Place. So yeah, if you’re not running a pro studio, there’s...
