Hey guys, I just found this today: http://www.wtyb.com/equipment/tascam-244-150-dpi.pdf for high resolution (30 megs) http://www.wtyb.com/equipment/tascam-244-low-res.pdf for low resolution (5 megs) If anyone's been searching for one of those, then hurry before it's taken off. It's not my...

This is just a followup to a thread I can't find and thus a new thread!:eek::D;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200129477092&rd=1&rd=1 Item number: 200129477092 Seller: jimjersey Winning bid: US $308.76 Ended: Jul-22-07...

I'm just curious, what mixers do you guys use for your 1 or 2" recorders? There is an apparent minority here with the 500 LB monster "washing machine" types and I'm just wondering as to your choice of mixers. We continually talk about TASCAM recorder this and matching TASCAM mixer that but we...

...... and my heart skipped a beat when I saw this [see attached image]. http://www.tascam.com/ For a few seconds I thought, "hey, they're bringing back open reel decks!" but it seems it was only a cool image that they chose to sell their NAMM event. Nevertheless, it's interesting they chose...

Perhaps a silly question but, as you may very well know, there are several type II tape formulations, even from the same manufacturer. Maxell, for example, constantly "upgraded" the tape and yet still called it "type II", which to me means the bias from the 70's udxlII, for instance, is no...

Hey guys, do you recall, some time ago, discussing 1/2" Maxell tape and whether it existed or not? Well, those that said yes were right. Here's proof...

I was just browsing the net and found one of my favorite sites had updated with a rather nice explanation and pictorial of worn heads. Great resource. Applicable to most any recorder. http://www.analogrules.com/badheads.html Also check out the other stuff here...

Tim [Beck], I'm sure you're going to respond 'cause I recall you mentioning a way to check for tape path magnetism recording high freq tones and replaying them, several times, looking for dips in db. Can you recommend a specific frequency and level to record on tape, for both a 7 1/2 ips...

Has anyone, successfully, changed the pinch roller on those things and how much of a pain is it, when one has the service manual, to actually make it happen? Are we talkin' major disassembly with hair pulling stress here? :confused: :eek:

A rather elementary question, I know, but can you guys tell me which head, on your 3 head deck, do you use for mixdowns, sync or playback? That, obviously, is going to be a pretty easy choice on some decks which have a rather narrow freq response of the sync head, like some earlier TEACs but...

I thought it would be pretty cool if all of us, under one thread, would list all of our current gear, this includes recorders, mixers, effects units, compressors, mics, instruments and whatever else you guys have. Let me start: TASCAM 244 4 TRACK CASSETTE RECORDER TASCAM 388 8 TRACK RECORDER...

This is mighty interesting: http://www.tapeproject.com/

Anyone try these? http://www.phonopreamps.com/hubspp.html Seems like a good price, especially when original TEAC / TASCAM ones go for at least 2x that.

TASCAM 34 (belt change) RE: changing the capstan belt (and getting to it) :p Ok, so I followed the front face dissassembly instructions in the manual, by taking off the 8 screws, pinch and other tension rollers, pitch knob and the 3 screws underneath the face. There's something, however...

Does anyone have any information on the type of tape used for typical studio sessions back then ? What was considered high output tape ? Was 1.5mil tape available back then or was it on a thinner base ? Inquiring minds want to know! :D THANKS!! :)

Guys, If you were to illustrate the tape lifter sleeves one needed to make for your tape recorder, how technically would you do it, considering the rather low tolerances of such a task? How would you accurately describe the diameter of each lifter, for instance? I just can't see doing it with a...

Apologies for yet another post but things are going about so quickly in the availability of new multitrack recorders that it bears repeating and having its own post. This is an extension of another post which can be found HERE and it details the hot demand for multitracks. I thought I'd never...

BRDTS pointed to this in another thread, which can be found be clicking HERE but it bears repeating and having its own post, IMHO. Price notwithstanding, this is really great news, especially for those who are sick and tired of used gear and headaches associated therewith...
