    The "damage" has been done, is probably irreversible.. THE WORD FROM MAXELL

    OK, now that I have your attention :D , here's a MOST informative and fascinating response from MAXELL, to a recent petition to restart production of their reel tape, as taken directly from The Word From Maxell - Tapeheads.Net Putting aside the fact that "it's over", it's pretty eye opening...

    Cleaning pots question.....

    Need some advice from you. Please take a quick look at the photo. I normally like to have direct access to those little holes in the pots to squirt some F5 directly but this one is a bit harder to get at and I'd like to avoid unnecessary dis-assembly so... my question is: Would it be effective...

    That's why we all love analog! (video)

    It's 9 minutes worth watching, from beginning to end. It starts off pretty tame but toward the end the guys are going nuts... well.. see it for yourselves! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUM0qgJzcpM

    What's the deal with the FOSTEX 3040 noise reduction unit?

    This is a continuation from the following thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=284513 I'm just wondering, reading Tim Beck's post and also Blue Jinn's, if it's pretty much confirmed that this unit will only work (stock factory) with the A-4?:confused:

    Running 100V gear on 120V outlet

    Not sure where to post this so I default to my place here.. hope you don't mind and can shed some light on this for me... Is it expected for a piece of gear, which is set to 100V 50/60Hz, to generate low frequency hum when run on 120V outlet? Would that 20V extra be enough to start causing...

    Just some random thoughts on tape echo machines...

    Well, you know the ones, dedicated solely to tape echo, with several heads, endless tape loop and ability to tweak as desired. I'm sure they're cool sounding but don't you think they're grossly overpriced? What's even more troublesome is that hardly any of the sellers put up any photos of the...

    Scratch remover products?

    I'll bet this was never asked before. ;) Do any of you have any thoughts on using some of the popular scratch remover products to correct light imperfections in the cosmetic condition of various gear (on the metal parts of course), casing, dress panels etc...? Is this a good idea to...

    Buzzing power supply....

    Hey guys, This is just a general question, having nothing to do with my gear. I just want to be educated a bit. In a nutshell, is it reasonable to assume, when dealing with an old piece of electronics gear, that if the power supply is buzzing (not humming), just with the unit on and not...

    This is a bargain IF the heads are good

    The ATR series is very under-rated but really top of the line. While this is not my auction, I just wanna point out what a bargain this is, provided that the heads are still good and that it checks out fine. A flash-less, clear, closeup shot of the heads would help...

    Return of the audio cassette

    It's really no "news" for many of us who like the format (I do :) ) but I thought I'd share this rather interesting article, nevertheless, from guardian.co.uk

    Tascam 244 / 246 DIY servicing

    Guys, We need some help here. Please check this thread out: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=297394 This probably should have been posted here in the first place. It's an especially well documented servicing of the 244 but applies to 246 as well. It was going rather well when...

    Anyone have TEAC / TASCAM feet & legs ?

    Hey guys, A lot of the TEAC / TASCAM open reel recorders share the same bottom feet and also back legs, where there is 4 of them attached by screws. I am wondering if someone here has any spares for sale? Thanks, Daniel:)

    FS: Alesis Microlimiter & Rolls phantom power

    Not sure of prices yet but wanna see if there's any interest in these. Suffice to say, I'll base my price on similar condition eBay ended auctions. Everything functions perfect and photos show condition. :)

    Anyone have the TASCAM ATR-60-4HS/8 .. with a manual, perhaps?

    If so, would it be too much to ask if you could scan / photo the page where it tells how to adjust the tension arms? I actually know where to adjust but need to know the procedure, like how to line them up correctly. Yes, I plan to buy the manual but need to know this piece of info asap...
