Yes, you can only record on one side. The other (darker) side is likely the back coating. Record on the lighter brown tape side.

I recently got my first 1/2" machine...Tascam MSR16, and would like to purchase a couple tapes for it. From what I've been reading sm911 and sm468 are good choices for this deck. Where are you guys buying at fair prices? I used to get 1/4" from Fullcompass regularly but they have recently...

thanks, got em open with needle nose pliers, really sharp ones and the roller pulled right out.

red coffee straw + 22-2 lifters = perfect match! see pic... :)

Hah, maybe ill try a coffee shop. Plenty of those in ny...;)

Thanks for all your help!! Kind of off topic but can I do something similar to the lifters on my Tascam 22-2? Different lifters on that one, like needles, so I doubt straw would work.:confused:

So the guides have been rotated, and the lifters "strawed", hah. Q qtip was not needed the straws were a near perfect fit. But now I need some advice on removing the problematic counter roller, it has a spring and attachment fastening it, which make it difficult to pull out (see pics) roller...

got it thanks guys! :)

Ok I'll give the straw thing a try, but other than the tape lifters...I doubt a straw would fit on the 2 other guides, and definitely not on the 3rd large guide on the MSR16.

would it be a bad idea to wrap a white splicing tape around the guides instead of the straw thing? wouldn't it be pretty much the same?

Thanks, but the guy actually found the manual, I have it now.

Cool, I am going straw shopping tomorrow, hah. Do you guys know if the MSR16 and TSR8 have interchangeable MRL calibration tape? :confused:

Awesome! Will give it a try. Gonna get the tach roller fixed then shes good to go! Pretty excited about this machine.

No worries...do you just cut the straw in half then tape it on?

I brought the pinch roller back to life/softness with some RBR, but the other one is a goner... :(

Interesting, do you have pics of these shims? I should probably make some as well. Shame they can't be rotated.

So, the MSR is now mine :) How do I turn the posts to a fresh spot? There's no way to unscrew them from the front. Do I have to crack her open? This thing weighs so much! Anyway, here are some additional pics of my new deck :) Also is it normal for the pitch control on these to kind of just...

Thanks will call them Monday. The Tach roller is the biggest problem, very goo like.

Can I get new rollers from Tascam, also Manual?
