    Tascam in China??

    Guys, If TASCAM had decided to resurrect some, if not all, of their long discontinued analog recorders and mixers but this time, subcontracted the Chinese to assemble the components (which wouldn't necessarily have to change from the originals), wouldn't the same pieces of gear retail for...

    Anyone have full access to tascamforums.com ?

    If so, drop this guy a note to join us here: His user name is sweet_beats over at TASCAM Analog Forum, www.tascamforums.com It's obvious the guy has tons to offer and would probably find more help here as well. As it stands, in recent posts, he seemingly, endlessly awaits for someone to...

    Rack mounting question

    Perhaps a silly question but does anyone know if the screws which come with the rack mount ears for the TASCAM recorders (in my case the TASCAM 48) and also ones which attach to a standard 19" rack (in my case the TASCAM CS-607B), are available off the shelf, at any good hardware store? The ones...

    Plastic bags for reels?

    Does anyone have a source (or solution) for plastic bags for 1/2" tapes? I bought a couple of pancakes and mounted them on empty ampex reels (took off the '86 tape) but I don't have nicely fitting plastic bags to put these in, before placing into the box. Any suggestions are welcome!:) ----

    Are tolerances tight for tensions arms?

    Another potential trivial question but here goes .......;) Are the tape tensions arms, as found on the extreme left and right side of the typical open reel machine (38, 48, TSR-8 etc), supposed to be dead straight, have the same tight tolerance, for example, as heads do or can they be off a bit...

    Hold down tape?

    When recording, do you guys use hold down tape, such as this one http://www.splicit.com/hold_down_tape.html to actually hold down the end (of tape) to the take up reel (so that it doesn't spool off)? If not, what do you use? Some take up reels don't have those slits which enable to secure the...

    Tascam 38 / 48 feet (anyone have 'em?)

    Hi guys, My 48 is missing the feet (and screws) that go at the bottom, which allow the recorder to be placed upright. (These seem to be common for the 38 as well and maybe others but I dunno). If you have a spares machine, can you help me out? EDIT: The part #, from my manual, is 5800288502...

    Tascam 58 Wanted

    Will pay up to $1500 for one in top condition. In addition to the TASCAM 58, I will also consider TASCAM 48 and TASCAM MS-16 MS16 and maybe an ATR series. I'd prefer to deal on a local level, which means no shipping.;) Thanks.:)

    Does anyone here have sealed 1/4" Quantegy 406 to sell?

    Does anyone here have sealed 1/4" Quantegy 406 / 456 to sell? I'd prefer the 7" reels but 10.5" would also be cool. Shoot me a PM. Thanks.:)

    I shoulda asked here instead (headphones related)

    Guys, I posted a question in another forum but didn't get any replies. A headphones question, I thought, may not be "appropriate" to ask here but then I thought, I'd give it a shot anyway 'cause some of you guys are freakin' wizards when it comes to this type of stuff! :D Here's the original...

    AKG 240S headphones and that damn cable!!

    Guys, There's not a dedicated "headphones" forum so I'll try here and see what happens..;) Here's the situation... The cable for the so called "new and improved" K240s cans, which I bought new, has broke near the base of the xlr connector. It's a really flimsy built so I'm not surprised. The...

    This question is for Jeff (The Ghost of FM) or for anyone familiar with this place. Jeff, if I recall correct, Patrick, who restored your MS-16, works at tele-tech? I've got a friend over in Toronto and he wants his TASCAM reel recorder serviced and I hinted that I might know of a place but...
