Has anyone here ever heard of a "Ramsa WR-S208" 8 channel mixer? It looks nice. But Ive never heard of the name. Anyone got any info on it?

Kinda like the pull cord on a chainsaw or lawn mower then? That what I was thinking after a while but i wasnt sure...Ill give that a try. And thanks for explaining that simple procedure to me..

Ive got 2 different spring scales. One is for lighter amounts and the other measures in lbs/kg. I just dont get how Im supposed to tie a string around the reel platter or reel and pull on it to measure tension.

I called Tascam and ordered a Capstan Belt. Actually 2 of them. They were very reasonably priced at about 8 bucks a piece. I do still have one question tho. Its about measuring the tension on the reels with the spring scale. I know someone tried to explain it to me but I still cant figure...

Too bad we cant all get together and do a group buy of some of their tape. That way we could all rate it and give a good idea on what the quality actually is. If everyone here that wants tape buys a few reels and gives a report it could help out others that are iffy about buying and maybe we...

Thanks Steve... That actually helps me out alot. I know they are some pretty general and basic questions. I do think I need a new capstan belt as mine is a little loose. Anyone know where I can get one of those?

Can anyone tell me how to tell if the Capstan belt is tight enough on a Tascam TSR-8? I cant find any info on it. That and I was looking at my manual for the TSR-8 and in the section where it describes how to measure the reels it says to use a spring scale. It says (a) spring scale (1) but...

So by looking at my heads do you think its the head wear thats making tracks 1 and 8 fade in and out at times? Im using new Quantegy 456 (New when I bought it about 9 months ago) and it doesnt appear to have any shedding or sticky shed...

Yeah Ive looked at them closely and I dont see any gaps in the tracks. I do actually know what you are talking about. What I dont understand is why do they call it relapping if all they are really doing is sand it smooth. To me relapping would imply adding some material to the head. So all...

Hey, Finally got my camera back. Here are a couple of shots of the heads. Do you think I could benefit from a relapping from JRF magnetics?

Really? As long as its cheaper than the highway robberie other tape companies are charging...

I guess I'd honestly rather pony up the money and have it done right by someplace that knows what they are doing. Besides I could screw it up even with the best instructions. I do have a couple more basic questions tho. What all are they doing when they relapp the heads? Is relapping just...

Well I have what I beleive is called keystoning. Where one side has a wider groove or wear pattern and the other side is less. But another thing that leads me to think I should get them relapped is that Tracks 1 and 8 sometimes experience dropouts. I have not noticed this on tracks 2 and 7...

Hey guys, where is the best company or place to get heads relapped? I was looking at jrf magnetics. They list the cost as 300.00 for 1/2 inch 8 tracks. I have a tsr-8 and it only has 2 heads not 3. So Im hoping to get a deal of some kind cause its not a normal 3 head job only 2. If they...

Just incase...I do have alot of spare internal parts for a 38. From the fuse block to the brakes and just about all the internals. So if you need anything I could help out...

I have a question about ATR services...Will they service ANY type of analog reel-to-reel? Or does it have to be one of theirs? 2nd I see they have a 2" 8 track RtR that only costs $29,500. I believe the price is soo high cause its also a 5.1 machine or something. Do they have any other...

Sweetbeats...No Im not really getting snapping or poping. But I do have one channel..6. That does not sound as clean or as nice as the rest. I have heard that there are certain things on the electronics that can lose there resisitance or value and cause a bad sound. I wanted to replace those...

You know I do have a whole other head stack from a Tascam 38-8. But I really wouldnt know where to start as to attaching it on to the machine...I dont think it would work well anyways

Actually the TSR is a 2 head machine. So thats gonna screw that up isnt it? There still must be some way to route it so that it is delayed and adjust the volume so that it gradually fades out...Maybe? And about the capasitors for the cards...does anyone know which ones I can go after if I...

I have a (hopefully) quick question about the M-30 mixer. I used to have a manual on my other computer as a pdf but its in the "shop". I dont use my M-30/TSR-8 that much. But Im wondering if there is an easy way to do some creative routing and produce a simple tape echo? And my second...
