Thanks Al. I agree, It's a shame though. I'm still convinced it is something simple. Thanks for your thoughts on the subject. I got the machine in a bundle deal. Sweetbeats, You may be on to something. The power supply is on a card. Matter of fact, it is next to the eight DBX cards. It is...

Is that what it sounds like to you jp? I would say "failing to boot properly" would describe it. Not sure about the Vari speed control (duel lights). I'm quite sure it is something very simple. As I never saw this, until I poked around inside, and started spraying things!! I looked at the...

Hello, I previously posted about a Tascam MSR-16 I purchased. It seemed in pretty good shape. I had no tape so I could not completely check the transport and Play/Rec functions. While checking the input's (from my M-520's Oscillator). I noticed track 16 had a different reaction to the signal...

Was..:( sold it.

Agree..a stand-up solid guy. Has offered help to me, many times in the past! Ron

Thanks wkrbee, That's good to know. I'll keep that in mind. No..jp your not wrong. I'm probably not going to keep this machine. Bought it in a bundle (couldn't talk the previous owner out of any tape). So I don't even know if the transport functions properly yet. My first initial test wasn't...

Yea, I remember that from the past. Thanks. People sure play stupid on eBay, when you ask for box numbers on tape!:facepalm:

I think I'd tell the Bank to go to Mars!:thumbs up:

How- bout Ampex 478 Low print. What's (low print)?

Thanks, jpmorris, and witzendoz for your replys. 1/2" tape is few, and far in-between right now. Ron

I've been watching the flee-bay for 1/2 format used Quantegy 456 (or equivalent). I'm not seeing much. Is this a problem? I'm looking for used, as I just want to check the transport, and functions of a MSR-16, I just purchased. Ron

Yea, easily done. I will do as you suggest Alan. Meanwhile..you know if anyone is offering a service whereby I would send them the cad in question, and they do check/repair?

Seems the DBX PCB's I found. Only had a connection on the outside. None when you slid them into their prospective slot. I mean they didn't have any connections to engage in the back, like the rec/play amp cards. I found 8 vertical PCB cards with another (same size, but somewhat different in...

I have been waiting on delivery of some DeoxIT before removing the back panels along with the PCB that covers the DBX cards. I removed the connectors for all and sprayed them. I didn't effect the symptom I'm having with TRK 16. I think the problem must be the REC/Play card. Anyone have any...

Perhaps it will be self evident when I install it back.:facepalm: Wonder how a person would order a spring, or washer, or even the circlip.:confused:

Thanks Allan. The only thing I could find, was a (Partial) user/Maintenance, and a Block diagram only version. But..however, what I was looking for seems to be missing from Tascams exploded view/parts numbers. On my machine the counter roller has a washer, and a spring. I see no such parts in...

Anyone know where a free service manual can be had for this guy? specifically maybe the parts breakdown. Seems to be a bit elusive on this model.

Thanks for clarifying that witzendoz. That's a great idea, as the meter does peg when introducing the DBX. That would lead me to think that would be a prime culprit. Now to locate where exactly where those cards are, and how to get to -em!:rolleyes:

Thanks witzendoz, jpmorris is right each track has it's own respective card. Excellent idea about cleaning past the card/machine point. Too, The previous user I think did indeed use the time code as I also received a JL Cooper synchronizer with the unit. Thanks for your input jpmorris.
