As I begin to use my Tascam MSR16, I'm looking to top up my 1/2" stock. Does this look ok? BASF SM900 Studio Master 1/2" 1ml 3600' Audio Tape Metal Reel 1100m New NAB Hub | eBay If not, then can anyone point me in the direction of suitable stuff? Thanks, Al

I've just bought a Tascam Midiizer from an Ebay seller and I suspect the unit might be knackered. The unit arrived in a filthy condition, stinking of smoke (never a good sign). Anyway, I've read through another poster's posts about getting the cables right (it came with 2 cables that do check...

SORRY POST DELETED! I cocked up!

A 32-track reel to reel! Tascam ATR 80 24 32 2 Enjoy, Al

I've bitten the bullet to buy a new MRL tape in which to setup the Tascam MS16. I'm going to be using Quantegy 406 tape and a few reels of AGFA PEM468 which I think are both +3 tapes (I could be wrong). Anyway I was going to order from this Ebayer: MRL 1" NEW proaudio test tape for Ampex...

In my search for a better meter on which to work on the Tascam MS-16, my manual recommends a meter such as the HP 400GL: HP 400 GL AC Voltmeter Hewlett Packard Agilent - Accurate, Portable, Easy to Use - Dewell & Dewell Inc I found one on Ebay that is similar. Do you think this would fit the...

It seems to me, that if one is trying to plan for long term use of a tape recorder (say a five year plan) then some things become a priority. For instance, without access to a good tape supply, then the plan falls at the first hurdle. Next, must be quality heads. All the other things (mechanics...

So, a couple of months ago I decided I was going to have a clearout....I'm working on my first musical (First Act completed ...Yippee!) and decided I didn't have time to tinker with the TASCAM MS-16 and the analogue desks were taking up too much room. Well, I've sold a few desks to make room...

My free-time available in the New Year is going to be at a minimum. I have been trying to write a musical (really a musical drama) for almost 20 years. I am now well into the writing stage and want to put all my energies into this. So with a heavy heart, I've decided to put up for sale all the...

Hi guys, Can anybody verify if these are the right clampers for a TASCAM MSR16.....the guy that emailed back from VST said he didn't think they were? Tascam 10" reel calmper 1/2' open reel decks TEAC | eBay Thanks, Al

I recently bought a TASCAM 8516 hubs and motors from a reputable Ebayer for my Tascam MS16, thinking that I was buying a pair of TASCAM TZ-65 clampers. Upon trying to fit them, I've noticed they're quite different and can't see how I could fit them to the MS16. Some pics are here: TASCAM MS16...

For anybody in the UK that is hiding this fugitive, I want it......NOW!

Just wondered if there were any owners in the UK? Anybody near the Manchester area with a 1" MRL tape willing to pop over and help me calibrate my machine? Cheers Al

Has anyone got a 1" MRL tape they want to sell, or even rent out? Send me a PM if you have. Cheers Al

I bought some 1/2" tape, 3M 996 (barcode 20632-007-2-021) from an Ebay seller. He thinks it was from the mid nineties and offered me a full refund if I wasn't happy with it. I think most of it has never been used. Now the pinch roller and tacho rubber arrived I had a chance to try it and found...

I've just been thinking about MRL tapes as I need two to set up my MS16 and MSR16. If someone's machine is all set up using an existing MRL tape, and they recorded tones like the ones on an official MRL tape, what's to stop another user using that tape as if it were an MRL tape? Where have I...

Last weekend I went and collected two recent purchases, an MS16 and an MSR16. I was umming and erring about dipping my toe into the analog world again after the recent demise of tape suppliers, but after watching Ebay it seems there are some suppliers of 1" tape still, but the 1/2" seems a...
