    Dozens of Little Analog Devices- Way Cool.

    http://www.miniorgan.com/home.php David Cassidy! I like that the Kenner Dancing Player features VERY anglo-looking band members, although it was obviously meant for the Asian market. Lots of fun to be had here.

    Fender Vs. Sqiuer SADDLES

    Not a theoretical query... Bought a Lotus Strat at a garage sale, intentions to clean it up and re-sell. Two saddles (string carriers, between the bridge and the strings) were missing. Got a take-off Fender Strat bridge- freebie from my buds at Ken Stanton Music- and noticed some differences...

    I Now Have FOUR R2R Machines Here- I REALLY Gotta Get To Working On Them

    They are: Fostex R8- 8 track, 1/4". Needs rubber, at least. TEAC 3340B- 4-track, 1/4" Pinch roller won't move into position on it's own, prob. other issues (this one was a gimmie.) TASCAM 38- 8 track, 1/2". Needs rubber, I think that's all. Revox A77- 2-track 1/4" (consumer type deck, so...

    I've Gotten Tired Of Playing Music With These Guys

    I just gotta vent... My too-big guitar group plays tomorrow (well, later today- Saturday.) I am sure I will enjoy doing the show, but really, I am getting tired of several of those guys. In no particular order, and names left out: "V" is rather a snob. Whether it's "I prefer to record my...

    Roland ep-7 Keys Won't Always Trigger- HELP!

    Picked it up cheap- but a few keys won't trigger, two are LOUD, like you are hammering on them hard (keys are pressure-sensative) even when using a very gentle touch. Non-triggering seems to move around a bit, even tho I took it apart and cleaned the thing well, and used spray contact cleaner...

    Pretty Steamed With Gibson...

    Yeah, I know everybody's pissed with Fender for the outrageous, unjustified, across-the-board price increase, and I do understand. But I am not a big fan of Gibson right now, either. A young man asked me to change a pickup in his Epiphone SG. He's got 498T he wants in place of the bridge pup...

    WTB: Pevey Scorpion 12 Speaker or Rebuild Parts, Or Pair of 12's

    Got a Peavey amp with a buzzing Scorpion speaker. Anybody got either a good Scorpion 12 or the parts I need to repair this one (Peavey Scorpions and Black Widows are field-rebuildable.) Alternately, a pair of 12's that are as good but will cost me less than rebuilding the Peavey... In...

    ROAD TEST- Acoustic Research Monitor Speakers

    Some of you may have seen my recent thread, asking for info on these monitors. There seems to be almost... check that, NO information on these squat, little things. I bought 4 of 'em at a church garage sale about 2 weeks ago, paid all of five bux for all four, and they even had no-tool banana...

    Strat Tremolo Bridge- Any REAL Advantage To a "Vintage" Design

    My Squier strat has a modern type tremolo bridge- only two pivot screws, unlike the "vintage" design, which has 6 screws. Thing is, on the vintage, you can only do dives- you can not pull the arm up (at least not much), whereas the modern design, you can pull the arm up and get about as much...

    Anybody Know ANYTHING About These Acoustic Research Monitor Speakers?

    Scored a quad of what must be small stage monitors. Built like little tanks, both as robust and shaped about the same, they have black composite plastic cabinets, a single 5 inch woofer that fires up at about a 45 degree angle from horizontal and a single horn that fires straight out...

    Gear Review: Altair PW-5 Attenuator (A TRUE Attenuator)

    Scored one of these at a musician's swap meet I attend in Nashville last weekend. The vendor wanted $50 for it, but traded for a couple of cabs I had- we both got something we wanted. Lots of folks looked at it, and I was quite suprised it was still there when we made our swap- turns out it's...

    Strat Replacement Pups- Going Back To The Beginning, Hope To Understand This Better

    Okay. Taking a big breath, here, and making an attempt to understand the Strat replacement pickup world better. I would like to replace the pups in the Squire Strat. Would like to keep cost under $100, or even $70 if possible. I will do the install, myself. I own a Les Paul with Burstbucker...

    Latest Chapter in the Texas Special Saga

    You may recall... I traded a MIJ Strat copy (not a squire, likely built in the late 80's to mid 90's) with OBL pups for a set of Texas Specials and some cash. Turned out mid pup is dead. Other party agreed to take it back and have a friend rewind it- he said that would cost him less than...

    Shouldn't We All Be COLLaborating More?

    Recent threads... A synth-head (no disrespect intended) wants to make his synth sound like a guitar... Another bemoans the poor state of piano sounds among modern synths... Another member here ask if a DAW can stand-in for, not a drummer, but a DRUM MACHINE... A common thead running through...

    Anyone: Quick Primer on Using Tascam MTS-30 With Tascam 38?

    I have had the MTS for years, aquired it God-knows where, been sitting on it all these years. Assuming the Tascam 38 (8-channel open reel, 1/2" machine) will be repairable... how would I use the MTS-30 with it? If it helps, I don't see myself recording in more than 8 channels...

    Wondering How All The Gear I Have Sold Is Doing...

    I dunno, just wondering if the old Yamaha mixer/amp is being used, how those kids in Roswell GA did with the old Tapco 14-channel mixer and home-built power amp- did they get their band together? How that ART AT212 worked for they guy who bought it, same for the Fender M-80... is that guy who's...

    Cat 5 Cable?

    I have the chance to score over 10,000 feet of Cat-5 cable, dirt cheap. I am going to be involved in wiring my son's recording studio, and my church for sound, soon. Seems to me, I saw here someone said it was okay to use for line-level wiring? Sure would save me a TON of money if it was...
