Knucklehead question. How do you read the scale? numbers above the line? what are the numbers below? Can I assume my meter (shown below) will only read to 140 grams? Thanks, Ron

Thanks Ghost, once again. I tightened them both and then loosened the lock screw they are free again. As for the manual, as I read it the only adjustments to the guides are done in play mode. And FF & REW adj. are covered under " Tape path fine adjustment" that will require a more extensive...

I removed the head-block and loosened the tape guide screws and spun the guides to the original position. I then re-tightened the screws (at the bottom side) of the head block. put it back together and threaded tape. On Rew things looked OK except I notice the tape raising up some. On FF the...

There is some faint oxidation around the three hex screws, I tried to use this as a guide. Since I have to remove it again, (to rotate the the guides 1&3 back) I'll take a closer look. Ghost you asked, if I knew how much I had rotated these guides. I do, I can tell by the flat spotting. I should...

Well mine I cleaned first!:facepalm: I gotta think, since there is no locating pins it must not be that crucial...but then again it is independent of the pinch/tension, and capstan, plus the counter roller. Not to mention.. tape lifters.

I tried both. Didn't make much (if any) difference. But I think the pictures were after FF & RW no spooling.

Yea I thought so too. so I expected to see some tape curling or improper head height afterwards. But after running tape (Play) and observing the tape travel it seemed OK. What should I be looking for here? Maybe also changed lifter azimuth? side-note; After removing the three screws and...

Got the lifters turned. Found, that by using a open-end wrench on the lifter base (the size of the rectangle) and then needle-nose vice grips (my description), for the lifters, I could spin them without removing them from the deck. I also, took the opportunity to spin the tape guides as well...

Or...this ;)

Ha,Ha! You mean like me!:) Thanks, for the heads-up.

Thanks fgonza. At least, now I'll know what I'm up against when I pull it apart.

I don't know what's typical, but on my board. The 16 buss's show-up in the separate monitor section. And can be switched between PGM and Monitor. Each having a separate fader. Too... each has the same Eq. as the input channels. So they can also be used as additional input channels. Typically...

Hello, I've been searching this forum to find about rotating worn tape lifters on these machines. No luck. I came across threads mentioning it on these models, but nothing describing it. As I study the parts exploded view it seems the lifters are attached to the base solidly. Has anyone here...

Hey Mike. You might give these guys a try. Look at the Tascam 58 amp card. It's the same card. THE REEL PRO SOUND GUYS STORE

Thanks for the responses. briank, I looked at that Amprobe 270 looks pretty good. fgonza, I have the Leader 181 Just gotta figure out how to read the scales!:facepalm: Thanks Dave, for posting your test results.

Sweetbeats, sure your not confusing the 22-11 model?

Thanks arcaxis, I'll have a look at those. You are so right about that auto shut-off. Just today I noticed I had left mine on...but found off.;) It too has that function. Dave, I'm just wondering what the tascam (or any other) tech's used in the day. My console is mid eighties. And they had...

Great review. I can see by your post you have knowledge in the electronic field. As for me, I'm only recently getting involved in that area. I have spent most of my time learning to play music then learning to record that music, then learning to mix same music an on and on...both analog and...

Thats perfect. Gives me more options to look at. I'll look into that one. What is your intended use for this meter? Thanks for the response Briank.

I want to get a hand held multimeter for checking signal levels on my various equipment. I get lost on ebay. there are so many models. And most don't list the specs. Rather than just throw (more) money at it, I'd like to hear what some of you use and why. I don't have enough knowledge to really...
