So is the arm that pops up when entering into fast forward or rewind supposed to lift the tape fully off of the record/repro head? Am I not seeing a lever or switch somewhere that allows it to fully lift the tape off the head?

just want to thank everyone for their input.... I ended up pulling the trigger on an e16

I'm looking for a good condition 16 track 1/2" tape machine. Tascam or Fostex... Also hoping to find a remote to go with it. thanks in advance, adam PS: I'm in san francisco

So, this is all 8-track 7.5ips 1/4" w/o any noise reduction?

My budget is flexible, my amount of space is not. If space was not an issue for me right now i'd go right for an MS-16 1". Does anyone have any info or opinions specifically on the differences between the fostex E-16, G-16 and Tascam MSR-16?

I really need 16 tracks. I've thought long and hard about this. If I want to be able to keep my stuff tracked out in a form sufficient for remix or mixdown at another studio, I really need at least 16, 24 would be great.

So there's the track width issue, but are we taking into account the fact that these 16track machines seem to generally run at 15ips, some even at 30?

BTW, for the last few years I've been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to define my music computer as a protools HD2 (running logic as well) system with an apogee rosetta 800 ad/da. I've currently got only one preamp which is an SSL dual-channel w/EQ. I've got a buddy who's helping me out...

I'm working mostly in experimental electronic music and oddly enough, through the years I've found the computer to get so much in the way that the concept of taking it entirely out of my composition chain has become inspiring to say the least. I don't have a whole hell of a lot of space right...
