Tried all the suggestions (but not the blades), but was unable to get any to work. (A shame, as it's a nice block.)

Yes - mine doesn't have the right ratio, it seems. (Maybe it's the skin I'm using.)

I'm transferring some tapes that have to be played back at 1/2 speed. I'm setting the playback speed at .5, and the source plays fine. The counter confuses me though - it seems not to be accurate. For instance, if I play a song that is 3:00, the counter does not advance to 6:00, but somewhere...

Thanks - that did work, but not sure why all this happened in the first place? (Reaper can induce headaches at times.)

I'm trying to paste a section of music from one song into another. All works OK, but when I open the new file, after moving to a new drive, the pasted section is missing. I've tried saving the new song with a different name, etc., but nothing seems to work. I would think the issue is the fact...

This tape does smell a little fishy.

Taking a break from baking (tapes, not bread), I put up an old Deutsche Grammophon reel of Sitar Music From India from 1968: I was amazed at how great it sounded, and was reminded of Ampex's near monopoly in the pre-recorded tape market of the 60's when I saw their logo on the label. This made...

My Teac was doing this, but it was down to the tape going bad and gunking up the tape path.

I have a pair of Cambridge Audio Works speakers and a sub-woofer, and it appears the volume control is giving me problems: A few weeks ago, one of the channels gave out, so I took apart the control (an odd rotary set-up) and cleaned it, but no improvement. When I re-seated the jack on the TV...

I've always found 1" tape to be the rarest format out there. 1/4" and 1/2" are pretty common, as is 2" in the professional world, but 1" was always the mysterious size to me. (Never saw that many machines that used it, I guess.)

We do things differently here in America - USPS insures each item if you declare a value at shipping, which I did.

Just threw the receipt away - insurance included.

Read above - $11 to ship it to him.

What would be a good one to get for baking tapes? Also, is there a problem if the fan is on the top, instead of the bottom...

Buyer beware - I was charged an $85 bench fee, which I was not aware of beforehand, but fool me once, etc. On top of this, I was charged a $50 shipping fee to get it back - when this cost me all of $11 to send it. (Mic repair is a lucrative business, I see.)

What would be a good oven to get?

Odd, because there is no shedding. I must have played the piece over 25 times to finally get it to work. Problem was the oxide got damaged with the repeated playings, so it's neither here nor there.

Transferring a tape today, and midway through, I heard the dreaded squealing. (It's on a Maxell reel, but doesn't look to me to be such, as I've never had such a problem with their tape.) It wouldn't be such an issue if it didn't also come through the tape signal. On each pass, it would happen...

A tech from Focusrite explained to me I should be using the line level inputs when using outboard gear. Would this also go for the inputs from my tape machine? I ask because I've been using RCA to XLR cables to transfer tapes. This would engage the mic pre, wouldn't it?

This was in the center of the reel.
