Hi, I haven't posted for a looong while but wanted to ask my old analogue buddies or more recent members, those who are perhaps familiar with the old portastudios, if there is an adjustment pot inside the 244 which will allow to substantially lower the speed, like say to the standard 1-7/8 ips...

Hi, It's been a long time since I've been here but I saw something insane on my local craigslist that i just had to share with you. Again, not my ad, just posting for historical purposes and your enjoyment. :D Just a brief comment: I completely understand the reasons behind having such a large...

Tim, how about these? Don't know the date. Can you say from the graphics / box type if these are good?

Before I start, this is not about spring reverb tanks but rather a question, some help that I need choosing the correct impedance. I am currently trying to find a spring tank replacement for my reverb unit. I wish to experiment with different tanks (type 4 and 9). These usually come in various...

I made a photo of some connectors. A red "sleeve" (sorry don't know the proper name for this) is present on each of those (4) connectors. One of those connectors has a very fragile wire and I'd like to fix it but I'm not sure how it looks like inside, nor can I gain access due to the red sleeve...

Cory, I'd send it to you if the shipping wasn't so damn expensive.:facepalm: Here's a couple of photos for you and Jeff. :)

Hi, I have this old outboard rack mount reverb unit that I was going to get rid of due to its cosmetic condition and a few other faults but then I started to think about ways to possibly refurbish it. It's got bad scratches, not on the face or back but on every other side. I was thinking of...

Hey guys, I'd love to get some opinions from you on the most plausible cause of something I've found with an old Roberts 450A (same as Akai 4000D) 1/4 track deck from the early 70's... I've had it packed for a long time but upon unpacking, I first found that it wouldn't power up. After several...

Does anyone here have one for sale, in nice condition and for a nice price? ;)

Message me if you have one for sale. Thanks.

I'm working on a cassette deck now, replacing capstan and cam belts (major dis-assembly pain:facepalm: ) and the plan is to replace the belts using the original belt length minus 20%. The belts aren't falling off yet but I thought I'd get some which will last for many years. Is the 20% an issue...

I don't know if this was posted before but here goes. Fascinating stuff. Famous Swiss Tape Recorder Brand To Re-introduce Reel-to-Reel Analog Recorder! | Analog Planet I'm sure that many of us may not be able to afford nor have the inclination to purchase such a machine, if it ever comes to...

I'm doing some work on a cassette deck and need to undo the wires to the mechanism in order to get it all out. I'm left with these 3 connectors (see photos). They seem to have the locking mechanism below but I'm unsure. Is there a safe way to remove these? It's so damn close to the components...

Hi, I'm looking for either of those digital reverb units, the Yamaha R1000 or the original Alesis Microverb. Send me a message if you have one. Thanks!

Tim, I should know this :o but can you tell me if this tape is the pre-shed era? It says Elk Grove Ill. Not sure if it's a re-issue. If it's original (1967) then it's pre-shed and should be good? Thanks! :)

Hi, I'm not sure how typical or common this is but I always find myself holding back (vocally) when trying to play piano and sing at the same time. I like the "live" feel but I'm not my best vocally. Another issue is that I sometimes screw up playing and something the vocals are off. It's never...

This is straight from the owners manual:

.... I'm just looking for 2 of each (2x 1/2" and 2x 1/4"). If you have any that you'd be willing to part with, let me know. I'd appreciate it. I have some naked reels I'd like to clothe. :D ADDED NOTE: I'm looking for the larger 10.5" reel boxes.

I'm looking for an old Alesis Microverb, the small half rack one, preferably the 1st version (not "II"). If you have one, let me know. Thanks!

This is way over my head but I'm sure as easy as pie for many of you... Can you please take a look at the attached? I want to disable dbx for track 1 and 2 (for my Tascam 244) but need to "short" the pins for channels 1 and 2 (at least that's how I understand from the service section). I took...
