So update on the repair of the crackling headphones...the tech said " We cleaned the entire inside and when we saw a component that needed to be replaced we did". He would not give me any specifics. I am hoping this will finally be over on Monday. It's been there for 3 weeks. The crackle IS...

That was then, this is now! Thanks Dave. You saved the day!! Great people on this forum!

It looks like in "Iron Man" when he built his first suit in the cave.:thumbs up:

Amazing!

Nice! That looks great. Ill PM you, but for forum info is it a hard operation? Would I have to take off and re-solder all the connections or is that little band in the middle of the insert made so you can just slip one side on and then the other without removing cables?

I'll be transferring individual tracks direct off the tape or pgm buss outs. Going into the 002 rack. Anyone know what cable to use and if I might run into input problems with the 002? :guitar:

Hi, I am looking for a strain relief insert for my Tascam RC-71 remote. Does anyone have a spare they are looking to sell? Would be much appreciated (see pic)

Yep, half the war is just getting yourself to sit down and keep focusing. I've noticed that if I can do that and wait out the rough periods there is always some unexpected gold waiting to be discovered. Those gold moments are the best of the BEST.

I will be sure to ask. They really seemed like they still had to test everything to find the problem. Time will tell.

I just got word from TEAC Tascam repair and they said its a component in the mixing channels. They are not sure which one exactly (the estimate took 10 days) and they said they would charge $324.50 for the repair. dad-gum-it!:mad:

Hi sweetbeats, Is that offer still on the table for the the strain relief insert?

So I just got the Tascam RC-71 remote in the mail and....it is completely missing the strain relief insert. (See pictures). Just holding the thing and it feels like the cables are about to rip out// I looked back at the ebay pics from the seller and now I see that in every shot the strain...

!! Awesome.

I picked up a Tascam RC-71 on ebay. I hope the strain relief is in decent shape.

Thanks Dave!

So does that mean if I manually set the CUE, then go do some recording, then hit REWIND on the remote it will go back to the CUE point, or no? p.s. I think I just emailed you on craigslist. ha!

Will do. They also said they would look through the whole piece for anything that looks like it needs repair. Do you think I should get it refurbished while its there? What would that entail?

I'm looking for a remote for my 388 and it seems the Tascam RC-71, Tascam RC-70, and Tascam RC-90 should work (even with the RC-90's extra rec mute button). Is this correct? Do all these remotes acknowledge the CUE and load function when reverse is pressed? Thanks. p.s. Any others that might work?

When I dropped it off the guy mentioned a possible bad transistor, so sweetbeats might be right on target. I'll be sure to give a detailed report when they get back to me.

No worries gentlejohn, I also wonder Ive been playing music for 20 years and still learning this side of the experience.
