Wherever you post it I'll give it a read. I really enjoy reading about other people fixing things.
I don't check the keyboard forum, though, so if you do post it there.... maybe update this thread?
Twin Creek Audio has a full series where he uses the Fostex R8 to demo his Tascam M-35 mixer. If you're looking for more videos of the R8:
I found those videos above because I found and fixed an old M-35 - pretty cool that you had one of those as well!
I know you'll likely not go for a...
I picked this A4 up off Reverb the other week. I'd been wanting an 8-track reel to reel machine for a while now to pair with my Tascam M-35 mixer, but the cost of 8 track machines was pricing me out as a home recordist.
I saw this Fostex A4 listed for a pretty good price because the seller said...
Yeah, it's dated looking for sure, but it's my speed. I have always liked being able to pull things apart and repair them. And seeing all of the attention to detail is something I find part of the overall beauty of this era of electronics. I know it's silly and romantic, but I have a real...
After I typed this up I went and looked at what it'd cost and yeah - I'm not gonna pay what people are asking for these things, that's nuts. I paid out the nose for the missing knobs, but I'm not going to do the same for some RCA jumpers. And I believe that you're right about the ground not...

My primary bass is a 2003 American Precision bass with TI flats. I bought it in probably 2005 or so and have had it since then. I own a few basses, but this is the one that I always come back to.
Thank you for the tip on the type of lamps it uses, that's handy. The manual lists a part number for them but not the specs.
I've worked the switches pretty well but maybe only a few dozen times each. I'll try exercising them more and lubing them up again.
Originally I went through everything...

Hello everyone,
I'm new here but have learned quite a lot from looking around this forum. I figured that you all might be interested in seeing some photos...
Here's a story about it from the Tascam site as told by Bruce's Engineer. I always come back to it from time to time and you reminded me of it: https://tascam.jp/int/support/news/481
Hey folks!
I joined here a few months ago when I was looking for some information, but didn't take the time to post until now. I just wanted to thank all of you for the collective knowledge here and say "hello."
I've been a bedroom musician most of my life (I'm 42 now, mainly playing bass but...
