Cool. FWIW, the circuit in the stock 990 is the same as this mic, and about 100 other mics.

I don't have a "before" recording of it. But comparing it to a 2010 (which has the same overall circuit, 32mm K67 capsule, but multiple polar patterns) it is: a little more sensitive, quieter, a fuller and less "bright" sound, EDIT: the "fuller" is very noticeable. more bottom end some...

Another one with a broken headbasket, and a jacked up shock mount. Shockmount repaired with a rubber band (the small bungy cord type shoelace had lost its bunge) This is a relatively simple mod: -Replace stock 32mm K67 style capsule with a 34mm K47 style capsule (mine were from WGTChina). The...

Yes. It's from user BigUgly at GroupDIY. I have permission to fab boards. It is the 5840 tube circuit with a G7 pattern switching scheme in front of the tube. The schematic is here: Here is my build thread...

Bumping this to put out another feeler. I've gotten a few requests for boards at GroupDIY, and I'm now all out. Here's a picture of my latest: Impulse buy broken MXL 2001, Now I have two "BigUgly RoyerMods" Here is a build thread: Royer Mod starting

Thread hijack: I thought 206 was safe? (I have a handful of NOS reels, I've not yet used.) 226 was the one according to that old thread by Beck. Also, Splicit has a new tape out called "Capture" I believe they are rolling out 1/2" as well. It's allegedly from a Zonal factory.

Specifically, the ones on the left for reel size and speed. I have a bad relay on that circuit board. I have a parts deck and all the connections on the board are socketed so I can black box the change, but it's like the plastic parts are stuck on with some space age star fleet glue! Are they...

Hello, I'm not a drummer, but can keep time well enough for what I want to do. Kit is reasonable sounding "Percussion Plus" with a head and no hole on the front of the bass drum. Pedal is a little loosey goosey. Does it makes sense to run the bass drum through a (preamp first then) compressor...

Couldn't resist $10+$6 shipping. Mic was good and broken as the seller said. Headbasket broken off its base ring, capsule skin crinkled, and the base nut had a small sliver broken off. (How does that even happen?) Didn't even bother to try it out and went straight to gutting it. Transformer is...

I think that Skywaveb guy is in or near Chicago. He posts at tapeheads.net a lot. ] Tape Decks and other equipment repair – Skywave Tape Deck Repair [/COLOR] I have one of these. I had to buy a new pinch roller (it's likely turned to goo) from Terry's Rubber Pinch Rollers & Wheels you also...

Wouldn't one of those from the 80s likely be on sticky tape? The short multi-freq tape is only $150 or so form the factory or JRF Magnetics where I got mine.

Hello, Quick question, Looking over the calibration procedures, (Tascam 38)it say to connect a 50kΩ load. the block diagram has a signal generator - attenuator -(which I don't see the need for using the tone generators on the boards output a nominal -10dB signal) AC voltmeter - amp - speaker...

Google is your friend. Yes, but you need that cable.

What size tape deck? (width) Get a test tape direct from MRL or JRF Magnetics. I just bought one of the four tone 1/2" 15 ips from JRF Magnetics. It's $145. here's the price list: http://www.mrltapes.com/pub043+lf.pdf

I have a thread somewhere around here about this microphone. Seeing if there is any interest in another run of these. Boards fit in the MXL 2001 body (should also fit in Apex 430 and several others). I did use the board for a single sided capsule. Here is the schematic...

I didn't want to post in this old thread which has specs for a bunch of tapes. https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/analog-recording-and-mixing-tape-and-gear/maxell-ud-35-coercivity-beck-235554/?referrerid=84801 It's my understanding that Coercivity relates to bias, and...

That's the thread I linked to above. It's weird, but it makes it impossible to cal the MSR-16 with it. I just ordered a 4 minute 4 freq MRL from JRF Magnetics. I don't know if I'll keep the TEAC tape or not. I have a 38, which also badly needs an alignment, but also has a bad relay on one...

Hi again, Wanted to start a new fresh thread on this. I have a YTT-1144-2 alignment tape. The service manual references YTT-11442 no dash. The guy talking at the beginning of the tape says it's full track. But I can't seem to get it to -10dB on just about every other track. This shows the 1kHz...

Love it. Is that Mellotron or ?

M520 ~.316mV across all 8. Same on my Teac 5 (a couple needed adjustments.) But again, posted before I'd really thought about what I was asking... I'm getting set to calibrate my MSR-16. It's a lot easier to access the trimpots than on the 38. Playback is down on most channels (so I'm wondering...
