    How HARD can I push TAPE???

    ... Also remember the LEDs are peak reading meters and are very fast, whereas a comparable RMS needle style VU meter would read a bit lower due to the mechanical limitation of it's ballistics. :spank::eek:;)

    2 Rolling Stones covers.....

    I remember Rainbow from about a year ago. Missed the other one. Both very excellent, as usual. Love it! :spank::eek:;)

    Creative uses for a 4 track Portastudo. Working or Not-fully (Besides a paperweight)

    Yes,... You could use the 424mkII's mixer section to mix inputs down to L/R (stereo) outputs, and use the L/R outputs to feed the inputs of the 2340, while recording up to 2 tracks simultaneously. However, to overdub you will need a separate output mixer to monitor the 2340's outputs. When it...

    Tascam 388 - problem no rewind and no fast forward, smoke comes out !

    Ok, definitely not normal! Given that there was smoke and a fuse keeps blowing, all bets are off for normal operation until you get that sorted. I'd start at the basics & determine if all your voltages are present from the power supply section, then use the schematics to find which circuit...

    2488 Neo vs. DP-24 or DP-32

    I'd tend to agree. I'm wondering now is what's in the works to replace the DP24/32 at this point? Would a Mk2 version with enhanced features be nice & maybe just around the corner? How about a total revamp of the Portastudio concept to something even better than a Mk2? Personally, I'd like to...

    Tascam 388 - problem no rewind and no fast forward, smoke comes out !

    ... Quite different than the first video! The new video shows what I'd suspect is more of a motor drive transistor problem. The drive transistors for the motors are stacked in pairs and are located/attached to the rear heat sink assembly. I had a similar looking problem several years ago...

    Tascam 388 - problem no rewind and no fast forward, smoke comes out !

    ... Given the circumstances & watching the video, I'd suspect a power regulator or other power related component on the power regulator board. Smoke is never good. If there's smoke, you can often ID the burned component visually. I think when you press a button a higher voltage spikes...

    New high for TASCAM 388?

    No... The 388's mixer section is way beyond an M30, mainly being 8-buss (vs. 4) and 3-band sweep-EQ (vs. 2-band sweep + 1 fixed)... a pretty significant difference, leaning toward the 388. Then, the tape drive section... is the reverse. A 38's 15 IPS, 1/2" tape drive is double the width and...

    This one has got Flower Pot guy beat.

    For you, in your case,... Given the selling price, I probably would have shipped it! There are ways to pack such a device to withstand the rigors of shipping. ;) :spank::eek:;)

    This one has got Flower Pot guy beat.

    Friend, I'm sorry if drawing attention to this listing embarrassed or offended you. I understand sinking a lot of dough into an older unit to restore it. Sometimes you should try to amortize or write off some of that cost, if you really want to sell the machine. Alt, there may be another user...

    I threw some Ramones Covers down to tape with a friend.

    Dude! Sweet! The drum track is a time keeper, obviously not a lead track or anything I spent more than 10 seconds programming. TR-606 sounds like that out of the box. Cheesy analog sounds before sampling or realism became the word of the day. Currently seeking a drummer, but that's an OT...
