I think you're right, the Revox is a 1/4" machine. I think that the Otari MX7000 is a 1/4" machine, too. I think the Otari MX5050 is either 1/4" or 1/2". You're right, 2-trk 1/2" analog tape would be totally friggin' awesome. I want to start recording and mixing some dub, and I think 1/2" analog...

Thanks, Jake. I'm sure it would sound great in good working condition. I actually talked to someone at Otari today, and they said that these machines are no longer supported by parts by them, and he suggested looking for a used MX5050B2 for around $500. I know it's more money, but maybe in the...

Hi folks, does any one have experinece with the Otari MX-7000 2 trk. machine? I think these are from the early 70's. I've been looking for an analog 1/2 track machine to mix down to, and I found one for sale, supposedly in good condition but unused for a few years, for $200. This machine is...

Thanks for your response Thanks a lot for your response, Reel Person...that's just the advice I need. I'm going to check the 246 out. I think I'd be happy with a good unit with new replacement parts that won't need to be replaced for a while for the same coast as a unit that may require this...

Hey folks, I'm thinking of buying a used Tascam 246 Portastudio, but the seller claims that there is one problem: when the machine has not warmed up the pinch roller strips the backing off the tape, but once the machine has warmed up the problem goes away. He claims that he had all the belts and...

I need some help with a DeltaLab CE 1700 Compu Effectron. I just got a used unit, but with no manual...after the unit boots-up it seems to freeze in either the bypass mode or on a delay setting. When it does function it's stuck in a delay setting. My intuition is getting me no where with this...

Yo Green Hornet-- Thanks, man. Yea, I'll just start trying stuff out and see what works--I guess I was wondering what NOT to do, to avaid damaging something, but it's not like I'll be pumping raw voltage through this stuff. Thanks for your advice. Cheers! Cliff

Thanks, Folks, for your answers--I did run some signal through it: I recorded the same song from a CD on all tracks, and it all seems to be okay. So now I've got to get this stuff together at my place: I need an mic, amp, speakers, FX, etc. I'm on a budget, but I dig the "low fi" stuff, and I...

I've aquired some old analog equipment: a Tascam M-308 eight input console and a Fostex 1/4" 8-track machine. That's all I have right now except for my guitar, guitar amp, stomp boxes, and a old cheesy Casiotone keyboard. I plan on getting a mic (any suggestions?), but right now I have a...

Thanks DALtune--good, smart advice. Much appreciated.

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum (I was refered here by a helpful soul at the TDPRI Telecaster forum), but I'll probably be spending a lot of time here if I buy this gear--this seems like a good place! I met a guy who's selling an old Fostex A-8 1/4" 8-track tape machine and a Tascam M-308B...
