    Not exactly New York but NJ Factory Service does excellent work. Not sure if Russ works on Fostex as at one time his facillity was the Tascam east coast service center. Hopefully he does. Give them a call. Good Luck ! http://www.njfactoryservice.com/home.html

    New Heads? Problem?

    Very Strange I just received the headstack for my MS-16 back from JRF and it looks beautiful. Years ago he did the record/play on my MSR-16 as well and that was beautiful. Anytime I have spoken with Mr.French on the phone he has been very friendly and willing to answer all my questions...

    Ausrock and Dano, Thanks for responding :) It's just strange that the manual doesn't show it, even in the exploded parts listing there's nothing shown going into that hole. Dano I know what you mean....those diagrams give me a headache just looking at them. Well i scored a spare head...

    Ethan, My machine doesn't have the post ? The hole is there (threaded) but that's all. All the pictures in my original maintenance manual do not show the post, only a hole. The main picture showing a diagram of the tape path and how the tape is suppose to ride on the guides doesn't show it...

    112, 112mkII, 122 and 122mkII differences?

    Sweet, How goes it ? Well I am the original owner of a 112 :) The 112 is a two head deack vs the 122 is a three head machine. I believe the Mark II, III, whatever were just updates (minor changes). Very good machines. I have had mine for nearly 20 years. Just recently had to replace the...

    Hello Everyone, Came across an MS-16 on ebay. Something doesn't look right to me on the attached pic of the headstack. Notice the shaft between the left most tape guide and the left lifter. I might be loosing it but I dont think my MS-16 has that shaft ?? From left on my machine I have the...

    MSR 16 reviews?

    superbeatballer, Glad the transaction went smooth for you. The guy I sold it to came to my house to pick it up. He seemed very nice so I believe he would go the extra mile with good packing to make sure the deck arrived safely. Regards, Dave

    Sweet, You can also DIY some baffles. Here's a couple of links to what I built. I have six panels that I can move around. Put them around the drums, stick a couple around a guitar amp, raise a few to their high posistion and make a little vocal booth. They really work well. A guy at my local...

    Sweet, Pardon me for hijacking your thread for a moment while I respond to cjacek.I know you won't mind :) Cjacek, Ok lets say your the vocalist.....how about rehearsing with the song in your control room, listening to your monitors. Get a feel for the dynamics of the song as you sing...

    What counts

    Sweet, Lots of good suggestions so far :) In regard to the cue mix...especially if the vocalist is inexperienced. Try and find a level they are most comfortable at. You can ask her if she would like to hear more or less of her voice as well as more or less of the instruments but being...
