Can someone please tell me what the exact and typical symptoms of bad cold solder joints are, especially as it relates to recorders? Thanks. :)

To Tim (Beck) or anyone who perhaps knows the answer. What is the coercivity of Maxell UD 35 tape? What would be even better is a source, such as a scanned spec sheet or similar. Thanks! :) ~Daniel

Other than the difference in dates made, the CUE section and the 1/4" jacks with preamps, are there any other differences between the 34 and 34B, like perhaps different heads, electronics, motors etc ..... ? As an aside question, are all 3 motors in the 34 / 34B the SEALED type ? Thanks to...

Has anyone here actually ordered a mechanical, heavier part from TASCAM (Montebello, CA) parts, something other than the typical belts etc ... ? I ask 'cause I wish to enquire as to their protective packaging for the more fragile items. How was it ? Thanks! :)

Sorry, posted in wrong place. :(

Do any of you guys know which other TASCAM / TEAC recorders share the same capstan motor as the 388 ? Thanks! :)

Ghost, Reel or anyone with one of the M300 series mixers, can you help this guy out please? https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=2523871#post2523871 Thanks Amigos! :D

I just stumbled onto this while browsing the amazon.com site: http://www.amazon.com/Analog-Recording-Using-Vintage-Studio/dp/0879308648/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-0704633-6509613?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174388293&sr=1-1 An "Analog Recording" book, published in 2006, currently on amazon.com .... now...

HaHa! :D You guys need to see this. Pretty fascinating! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFRkhUMYiaY This was only a short clip of a much longer version which can be downloaded here, under "The Video Recorder": http://sciencezero.4hv.org/tslom.htm

How's this for a misleading description: http://cgi.ebay.com/QUANTEGY-456-REEL-TO-REEL-TAPE-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ170092060136QQcategoryZ15000QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem What a way to try to clinch a sale! Combine the facts with fiction... and spin in your favor ... 'nuff said. :rolleyes:

I thought I'd repost this here, in a new thread, so that it doesn't get lost in a currently "closed thread" and benefits those who particularly care to know more about the series. Enjoy! http://members.shaw.ca/ftp_pro/01.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ftp_pro/02.jpg...

Tim (Beck) mentioned this previously, 'bout Quantegy raising prices on tape, especially their 456 but it bears repeating here. For a company which is going down the toilet, they sure want to make a killing on their last batches of tape. First they have a fire sale, trying to create panic in...

I'm sure at least some of you know of this place but here it is anyway for those who don't: http://audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28 Lots of good stuff related to turntables, cassettes, reels, tape machines etc ...... Much of it is a goldmine of information. Really nice forum to know :)

Lots of tape decks but check out the way he stores it all. Pretty neat. No doubt about it. :) http://www.screwloose.us/tapedecks/

For those of you who have not seen the review, I have scanned and uploaded the article, from the February 2007 issue of RECORDING magazine, for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! :D ;) http://members.shaw.ca/ftp_pro/01.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ftp_pro/02.jpg...

I like that it's all laid out for you, based on the type of recorder, its record gap and bias recommendations for several popular RMGI tapes / speeds. (Yes, our beloved TASCAM is also mentioned! :D ) I guess you can use those for Quantegy equivalents as well. The SM911 = Q 456 and SM900 = Q...

Hey Rolf, Just seen you take part in the reel to reel poll! We haven't heard from you in a while. I hope all is well with you and that you'll find the time to post here! I see that you updated your page. I'm currently browsing! Best wishes :)

Let me bounce an idea off of you .... I've been thinking of using some type of material, mounting it onto the tape lifters and all stationary tape guides, perhaps a type of tubing or wrap made of teflon or something equally slippery, something which would save these parts from totally...
