    OT SPAM: Dolby 362 unit for sale (more liquidation)+

    Posting here as it's really only analog related: (I really want to clear out some stuff) Dolby 362 with two "A" cards. I don't think I'm going to do the vocal mod anytime soon. E*ay prices are all over hell and back and I don't know what these should realistically fetch so US$150/OBO. USA...

    OT-SPAM-- Case of 499 for sale 1/4" US$150/shipped, USA only

    I don't want to hassle with Ebay, and I figured only folks in this forum would be interested. I have a case (10pcs) of 499. I had thought about mixing to it, but I already have plenty of 456, and, easy as it may be to re-bias an Otari deck, and yeah it would sound great and all that, I just...

    decent AC Voltmeter (besides a 45 year old HP)?

    Well (sweetbeats can fill you in on the backstory) I picked up an old HP VTVM on Ebay, (having bought and then quickly destroyed one when the handle broke....) It looks really clean, but the fuse holder was busted and came apart when I pulled the fuse to check it out, and I've not a chance to...

    Storage after baking sticky tape?

    I don't know how to "bake" a tape just yet (have a food dehydrator, and it will fit, just need to look up the thread) but I'm trying to confirm the storage after the fact. I recall Beck or someone else having baked an alignment tape, and then stored with dessicant in a plastic bag to preserve...

    OT RANT: What ever happened to single (clean) & album (dirty words) ver of songs?

    OT RANT: What ever happened to single (clean) & album (dirty words) ver of songs? This just bugs me to no end, to hear on the radio: "I really (quiet)d it up this time" "This is (quiet)ng awesome." Steve Miller had funky kicks on the radio and funky shit on the album (and occasionally on FM...

    OFF TOPIC: Recommend a toslink D/A converter (for TV)?

    Off topic I know. However.... I just bought a "classic" receiver (I'll never give up the backlit AM/FM and the bigass weighted knob....) to go with the new TV. (also, because this particular receiver, assuming it gets here in one piece as a pre-main loop intended for EQ, but I'm going to stick...

    !&#$%^@ Otari again....

    Mmmh, what's that burning smell? Mmmh, reels are turning, but the meters aren't deflecting, and the smell seems to be coming from, damn, the Otari. Pushing stop doesn't. OK then. Turn off, turn back on, none of the logic functions or work. OK. I suppose a burned part should be pretty easy to...

    MXL 9000 design quirks. thoughts on it?

    I picked one of these up on the cheap, w/o a PSU. So I haven't been able to test it out, but did some research about it and found a schematic on GS and a discussion of mods to it on GDiy. I also went and bought a used V76t which uses the same PSU (and AFAIK is the same mic on the inside.) So...

    Is it possible to compensate for incorrect bias? (to use cheap tape and not rebias?)

    OK, this sounds silly, but I have an A-8 that is calibrated for 456 type tapes. I don't want to run 456 on it (1 mil is recommended) and I have exactly one reel of 457. (and one of 041 of unknown vintage, and some 407 of SSS vintage.) I have 642 and Maxell UD, while not back coated are good...

    MSR-16 head block (should I?????)

    Damn this is tempting: TASCAM MSR-16 1/2" REEL RECORDER HEAD ASSEMBLY PLUG-IN | eBay Unless the lifters have been turned, it doesn't look like a whole lot of wear. For another $250 or so for a relap of both heads, that's still pretty good.

    6N3 'HiFi Buffer Preamp' = inexpensive tube preamp

    I posted this thread at GDIY: "6N3 HiFi Buffer Amp" -- what does it really do? Schematic corrected again Start at post 14. I got a wrong schematic from a seller, which caused considerable confusion. The circuit has some quirks, like a 10k input Z and a 50k pot on the output. I stripped out the...

    MIDI Sequencer for Win98 that will accept MTC. Recommendations?

    OK, subject should state it. Specifically, I need to transfer some drum patterns from a Roland drum machine to a midi file. I noticed the software I'm using (some old version of Cakewalk) doesn't have a parameter for syncing to anything. (The Roland will act as master or slave, but if the Roland...

    Otari woes

    Just bitchin here, but wondering if anyone else has the same trouble (?) A few years ago I bought a MX5050Bii-2 from a guy in CA restored. Anyway, the tape path is very very particular. Running certain 031 reels on it (they are not sticky shed, and record fine on e.g. a Teac 3300) they will...
