Sure. Here's a song. https://soundcloud.com/vicious_circle/troy-von-balthazar-manic-high

Anyone selling any Quantegy 407 tape? Im looking.

I just recorded a full album on the 388. It sounds really nice. Took a little time to figure out how to make it sound right (as Im sure you know) but in the end I really got something nice. Worth rebuilding. Have fun.

Wow. I wish I saw that auction. Did you end up getting them?:)

I hope it is just a overheated flux. If problems pop up Ill chime back in and pull the card but for now just happy to be recording again. Thanks guys.

Actually I took this picture while the card was out. Everything is working at the moment so I don't want to chance taking it out again but if problems start again I'll pop it out and check which connector it is. (I should have done it this time:cool:)

Hey sweetbeats, Here is an awesome photo of the other side.

Yea. Everything seems to be working well now. While the 1+3 card was out we did notice this little burn area. Anything I should be worried about?

Success! I switched the rec/play amp card and all tracks are working perfectly again. Thanks VERY much j.harv and sweetbeats. You guys were spot on! I used some string to get into those little tabs, and with some slow but steady pulling and rocking back and forth the card came right out. We...

sweetbeats, I say hold on to your gear. This stuff is your passion. Its not often that we find things that we really love to engage ourselves completely in. You are a Jedi Master.

Hi Guys, So I'm going to pull the cards today. Im hoping they will come out ok. Will keep you posted. Ill try to take some pictures for some future unlucky soul who might have to go the same route. Anything else I could be looking for when I've got the 388 open? (The problem was that track 1...

Thanks wkrbee. I had my last 388 relapped, not sure if I want to hold onto this one though those months of repair like last time. But thanks for the heads up. Its good to know what might be coming down the line. I was also wondering if an R/P card is bad would that be an indication that other...

Hi sweetbeats, I didn't get the cards out yet. j.harv mentioned to be very careful when pulling them out. First thing I need is some detailed directions about going in there, what to avoid, what I'm looking for, etc. Ive never opened one of these up so really have no idea how to proceed. Any...

Thanks j.harv. Ill keep these notes with me when I go for the operation. Much appreciated.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows the steps to swapping rec/play amp card in Tascam 388? I have a problem with extreme volume dips on channels 1 and 3 on my machine and would like to see if the culprit is the rec/play amp card as suggested by some kind forum members. Also does anyone...

Thanks guys. I've never opened this thing up and admittedly don't have much experience fixing machines. I worked on my Tascam 244 a bit and some computers etc. but never got really heavy. Is switching those cards a difficult procedure? Any tips on the best way to do it? Thanks. p.s. everything...

Hello All, I've been working with a nice Tascam 388 recording away until today I found that when I record something on track 1 and 3 there are BIG volume/clarity dips (all other tracks record fine-including track 2). I remember this happening before on track 1 sometimes but I use that for clicks...

Sweet!
