I should buy another one... mine is heavily used. I traded a DAT deck for it 3 years ago and loved it, its in pieces right now as it is broken yet again. And a repair tech said he cant get the speed to be correct on it.
So maybe i'll buy a new one :)
i got mine WITH a mixer and roadcase for 900 :)
I love the machine at 15ips with no DBX... best drumsound ive gotten in my life. All my songs are basis rock n roll so i often only use 10-12 tracks (7 on drums ;) )
I just need to find a perfect mixdown deck that im satisfied with for it, then...
problem is he's the only guy in town who works on older gear(Buffalo, NY). I mentioned to him that a replacement shouldnt be a huge problem even if Tascam doesnt have them someone else makes something that would fit I'd like to assume.
I've taken my m-2516 mixer to be repaired because channel 6 fader was loose. He told me he may be unable to obtain a replacement. Does anyone know if its possible to find the part I'm looking for or should I give up?
yeah i dont have the manual.. i was gonna order it from tascam this week. the hub had broken plastic inside it... i'll definitly have to find a new one. usrecordingmedia said they arent getting any for a month.. i'll have to try ebay
my left hub holds the reel a little loose cause it to shake a tiny bit during playing. while the other hub holds tightly. is there a way to tighten it or do i need to replace the entire hub?

He doesnt really think 30ips is good on almost any machine. almost
