I thought I was home and dry with the MS-16, but a new problem seems to have surfaced out of nowhere. I've documented it here on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehQIjQSbpXw&feature=youtu.be Basically, when I select the SYNC head for playback, other than TRACK 6, none of the tracks are...

I only have the operator manual. Was there ever a Service Manual produced? If anyone has a copy please PM me. Thanks Al

As my electronics knowledge is limited (think postage stamp size) I need some help. I've diagnosed that 2 diodes in the PSU of the MS16 look possibly suspect (see other threads). The manual lists the parts as: 5143243000 - ERB12-02G1 I don't seem to be able to source this at Farnell or RS...

As an electronics novice I came across this video when looking for solutions to my MS-16 which keeps blowing fuses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Y82SIZLv4&list=PLZVRDZm7LRLXzywL3X_anO49Kd84NBhb9 As an electronics novice, I thought it was pretty clever, although I can see why it may be...

When I bought the MS-16, I downloaded the 'Operation / Maintenance' manual in PDF format from the internet, but sadly it lacks the schematics to the machine. Has anyone got an electronic version or know where one can be downloaded from? Thanks Al

Hi Guys, In order to save the wear and tear on the MRL tape I bought for the MS-16, I decided to record the entire tape (only 4mins.....short version test tape) to the hard disk recorder (MX2424) then to record it onto some NOS Quantegy 406, using the 8" reels that JP kindly let me have :thumbs...

I've been studying music for over forty years now, starting with my clarinet, then saxophone, then piano, then bass guitar, then guitar, then recording, then drums.....I've studied it to what is recognised to be a fairly high level covering lots of genres including electronic music and touched...

I want to check my MS-16 reel tensions with my tentelometer and have read in the manual it is much easier to achieve using 7" reels (because of the inverted 'omega' setup). Anybody in the UK got any spare they want to sell? Thanks Al

In my attempt to bring together the best of analogue and digital recording, my latest studio refurb includes TASCAM machines including the MSR16, MS-16 and MX2424 recorders, all synced together using a Midiizer and an IF-1000. It's taken a while to get to this stage, but it all came together...

Check out this vintage studio.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPz8XMNBTiI Al

Just been checking out Tascam MSR16 and Midiizers on YouTube...came across this small clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-hDCAv1-A8 Sweet! Al

In an effort to sort my fan noises out on both my TASCAM MX2424 and the TASCAM MS-16, I've been experimenting with a 9V battery and 12V fans and a variable resistor : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOiP4SBjM10&feature=youtu.be I want to know which Pot (variable resistor) I should buy given...

This is the state of the head of the machine for sale. Is track 1 the highest track on the head? Does it look as if it's beginning to open up?

I've just found his fan: 109R0624G4021 Sanyo Denki | Mouser Reading the specs, 39dB doesn't sound very quiet. I once fitted some Scythe S-Flex fans to a Tascam MX2424 which were rated at 4dB I think....you couldn't tell whether the unit was on or not. Their low noise did limit the amount of...

I'm trying to source a quiet 60mm fan as a replacement for the stock one. I don't know whether the fans originally were much quieter but the noise of them is really intrusive but I'm having difficulty sourcing a 24V quiet fan. Could I mod the machine to run a 12V fan and if so, what would I do...

So I came across a R2R machine I'd only heard of before when perusing Ebay.... Brenell | eBay Which took me onto this site: archive and a roll down memory lane (yes one of the first mixers our band had around 1982 was a MM16-2 mentioned in the article) and I end up on one of the original...

Latest gearlust has just struck........ TASCAM M-600 Studiomischpult Audiokonsole 32 Kanäle/16Gruppen/16Returns | eBay Has anyone ever used one? There doesn't seem to be much on the internet about them? Al

Just been reading about balanced and unbaalnced inputs & ouputs and now I'm confused! Hi Guys, So here's the deal. I picked up a rackful of old GPO (BBC) patchbays (1/4" stereo jack type) that are balanced along with loads of connectors (I paid less for the whole rack than to buy even a...

Hi Guys, I picked up another MSR16 yesterday that exhibits quite a bit of wear on the head. I thought I'd look on how to remove it (or the block) in anticipation of sending it to be relapped. There are some pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/33383402@N06/sets/72157644877521352/show On...

Hi guys, A bit of topic but I'm currently fixing my motorhome. I need to check the alternator regulator which I suspect is knackered as in this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD7ySDiNdwA I figured I could rig up a variable power supply using 2 9v batteries piggy-backed together (with...
