    Tascam M520 PSU Cable - Connectors

    I am sure that there are Canon and Molex connector that will be more than sufficient. I used to use mate N lock connectors that had a D like polar connection and were good for 10 amps. The Canon connector I saw were used on VCR's that we hooked up on planes but I am sure these are no longer on...

    Tascam M-520 - RCA shorting pins - SOLVED

    Any high level gain stage that does not have anything plugged into it might as well have shorted input so as not to pick up noise or Radio Stations. Phono might be one place and then maybe Buss SUB in might be another- apply where the input not used will give any noise trouble but never any...

    How to access transport on Tascam 112RMKii.

    Doors or what is called a Cassette Cover usually lift off but the 122 Mk III has a latch at top that you push on and extract it that way. The manual does usually show how to take a door off as I have seen them many times although I don't need to consult owners manuals after 45 years working on...

    ITAM 1610 schematics?

    You often times with old or weird stuff have to do a lot of work to get the documentation that others may have thrown out. The copy I found was a scan from Germany and that is all there was. There are other sites but they have regular stuff not esoteric or old strange stuff that was made in...

    Maybe need a different power supply...

    Well the post 26 says nothing about you getting and using a PS3500 and who knows if that will be enough. So I will go away.

    ITAM 1610 schematics?

    Well I only found this which might be of help- I don't know. It came from Electrotanya where I am a member.

    Maybe need a different power supply...

    I would simply find out what you need and build a box with the appropriate sub power blocks in it that give you what you need- it all depends on how you want to do this you can use switch power supplies or linear types. Linear types won't have switch frequencies in the supply but they will be...

    ITAM 1610 schematics?

    What is an Itam 1610 device? It looks like a Tascam 85-16 but it is made in the UK so you would need to secure documentation from them.

    Tascam M520 PSU Cable - Connectors

    One spec sheet I read on the dB25 it says that the maximum current is 5A so it might do. The companies usually spread some voltages through parallel pins so as to make connections redundant and all greater current flow overall.

    2004 Tascam 34B

    I don't know but that was a long tme ago already and so I would think they are all dispersed from where they were. They did not make them in Canada and so they all would have to go through LA CA to get from Japan.

    Tascam 246 wiggly input jack repair?

    No, it was used for cost reasons- anywhere they could shave off a dime they did it. If you can get jack with metal cushing and a nut then put them in and they would probably work a longer time. There are no grounding considerations if they are mounting that way- The ground is in the jack.

    New Mixer For Tascam 388

    I don't recall the longer faders on the M512 but if they are then they are still ALPs type and not Penny and Giles like on real equipment. The longer carbon trace that you have with a longer fader makes for easier damage to them. If you have those then better get some back up pieces. Some things...

    Tascam 246 wiggly input jack repair?

    If you can find a part that is metal bushing and with a nut then you might also have to cut a piece of aluminum to mount it and that would be stronger. They may be out there one would have to do research on that.

    Tascam 246 wiggly input jack repair?

    I have had them open and worked on them so I know what is in there. The soldering of these parts is preposterous so even though there is no stress to it as if it was solidly mounted there is still stress from the plugs being torqued side to side and having the connectors sticking out the front...

    TASCAM 238 ......is this machine about to have problems?

    I watched the video most the way through as it was giving me headaches with all the unfocused close ups. First speed is tested with 3KHz not 440Hz and then if you have unrepaired products made with those $.001 C2 parts how can you expect it to work right at all. The C2 needs to be a Mylar or a...

    TASCAM 238 ......is this machine about to have problems?

    I call them all junk while there may be some better one the ones that are substandard are from China. I myself find nothing good about SMD parts and if you look into how long they are to last you will find out the parts are put into throw away products. If you have a $1500 I phone they have...

    TASCAM 34B is still being made (must read)

    Late to party or not any 34B now days will need work and service to it and I am still doing them when they can be fit in. If you think the 34B was nice you should try out the 44OB deck. Watch out how you buy stuff because the daily practice these times is to be deceptive and try to rip people...

    Maybe need a different power supply...

    Why is there the need to upgrade a power supply as the power supplies were made to operate the particular item they are intended to be used with. A power supply with a lot of air inside means they made the box for something else. A better power supply will have separate Toroid transformers in it...

    Teac A3340S with no transport action

    Why does everyone look for a fuse solution or something simple? If the right dummy plug is in then most likely the next thing is the stop transport switch on the tension arm is defective. After that it can be bad filter caps on the power supply which is why I change them right off. Have I...
