Managed to work a deal out for the TSR-8! Got a bit of a road til I use it for my intended purpose.. basically 688 synced up with it with the midi-izer communicating between the two! My 688 needs some service too. Most likely won’t have this rig set up for a few months. But I got a 488 Mkii and...

Haha ? fair enough! Thank you for the resources and sound counsel ? I’ll look into that! Will be back here inevitably on my next step after acquiring the deck!

Sweet deal! I’m hoping this TSR has the same amount of playback as your MSR. Baby tape heads! alright, that is sound advice. I’ll definitely replace the pinch roller and I’ll give the belt a good look through to see how thats 30 y/o is holding up.

Bonus: if I practice patience and go the cash route, with the extra money I can put the cash towards elektrons new syntakt ?

Leaning towards the reel machines. TSR-8 is in supposedly near mint condition so it’s all the more enticing.(pictures on the way) The MSR-24 is in decent condition, and been in a temperate storage for years. The big deal breaker here is the real estate a 24+ channel board would take up. Syncing...

This is all good advice. Well seeing that the tsr-8 has been listed for 2 months now, may be a good possibility it’ll be waiting for me after selling the Dr Z.

Man yeah I don’t think I could manage the space for that in my desired application. Would be a total re-imagination of my workflow. So maybe the msr24 is out of question.

I have a midiizer to sync some decks, so I would most likely sell the remote which would be a bonus.

This is true but requires sitting on the gear to sell and possibly losing out on the desired gear. Plus it pains me to sell for some reason.. I’d rather trade. But I may consider just sitting on the sale! The dr z is currently listed. I’m antsy to get working with tape ?

All of them are local. I wouldn’t do anything over a 50m radius. 100 if I’m really GASing ? I hear the caps in the 238 need to be replaced which I have a feeling on the 238 hasn’t been done, although there is a new belt and a remote control for it.

I offered to trade a Dr Z maz 38 1x12 for all of these. And added a 1970s guild semi hollow body for the MSR-24. I offered it for the TSR-8 as well cuz what do I have to lose, hardly play either of them these days. My interest right now is leading me towards playing around with midi and smpte sync.

I kind of realized I would need a 24 channel board to run the MSR-24 wouldn’t I? ? that sort of brings the 24 track out of the question. I don’t have the space for that. Although the amount of stereo tracks at disposal is very tempting. I agree though the reel to reel is more enticing than a...

Hey all I have the opportunity to trade for a Tascam MSR-24, or a Tascam 238. The 238 has been rebelted and serviced, but I don't believe the caps have been replaced. I also have a TSR-8 on the line but I would have to wait til the cash comes along, as the seller is not interested in a trade...

Well, I could bring to a technician, but being fairly competent with repairs I wanted to take my hand at it first as I am getting more and more into repairing older electronics. I’m not afraid to service the bigger picture of the tape playback unit I just need to do my research before hand. I...

Hey there, I’m planning to pick up and repair a 688. The problem with it is that it works perfectly for about two minutes then it starts to get all wonky and won’t play or read the tape. The magnetic heads go up and down confusedly and then stop. The rewind and fast forward features work, and...
