Any idea how you work this out? I would post a schema of the power supply but my scanner is shagged :mad:

OK, I have a power supply that is putting out 39V DC. I need it to put out 21V DC. What's the easiest way of achieving this? Is it that simple, or is there more to it than that? It would be best if the voltage was variable by 5V or so. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my two teac machines (you may remember) at i worked out that my recording levels were too hot. After sorting them out all was well. Your heads may be worn aswell so you may wanna check em out

I had prety much the exact same thing happen to my itam 806, which is based on a revoz a77. The problem there was a bulging cap. Replaced it and all is well. Sept whin i was looking for the problem i shorted the PS and now it is supplying the channel cards with 5v instead of 21. But hey... i...

The trick i reckon i have come across is being bid against and the other chap winning, only to be contacted straight after with a second chance offer of my maximum bid. I was the only other bidder so i offered him what it would have cost me if the other fella hadn't been bidding. I never heard...

If anyone is interested, The problem with the eq does seem to be caused by running too high levels to tape. I have worked out that the OL of my tape is 200nwb/m, but i was running signals up to and over 350nwb/m. I have adjusted the machine for the "correct" levels and the record eq now has...

I think this thread illustrates perfectly the "everyone has thier own way" argument, and you need to find what works/makes sense to you. I reckon every song needs to be treated on it's own merits.

Thanks for the replies, The eq I'm talking about is not the switches on the outside but the little tweaking jobbies inside when doing the setup. I have investigated further and I have set up the machine for 350nw/m tape, but i have discovered that the tape is 200nw/m (at least I think so) I...

Hi guys, Has anyboy had the same problems when seting up the 3340 the record eq section has no effect... I'm having the same problem with my a 6100 aswell I'm using tdk GX35 tape which could be the cause as I'm unsure of the bias setting. Any ideas? Thanks

Well for starters you will need to get hold of some equipment. Firstly , and prbably most important, you will need to get hold of a calibration tape. They come in many varieties so you will need to find out what kind of cal tape you need. By the way, recording tones yourself will not help you...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh dear me that was BAD! :D

PM me your emailo and I'll get a manual to you. I have no idea where to get a ne PSU from though, sorry

Hey man, those things scare the hell out of me never mind the girlfriend... :eek:

Hi guys... I have a friend who has an MSR 16 and a 38 who is in desperate need of the manuals for both can anyone help... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Cheers dave, The belts look prety good to me and the fella i got it of said that, to the best of his memory, it had this kind of problem from new! Could it be a problem with the voltages? I know for R2R machines, there are a few adjustments for voltages to the reel motors... thanks

Hi guys, I've just laid my hands on a tascam 122mkii tape cassette recorder and it's in prety good condition. Unfortunately it has issues when playing and FF. The tape seems to get "stuck", as in the tape doesn't play at a constant speed and when FFing it gets stuck and wont FF any firther (like...

If the test tones were recorded at 15ips and you played the 1k tone at 7 1/2ips, then it would play back at 500hz

nice one. just what i was after

Just curious but...

On my teac you should turn it to max then turn clockwise till you get a drop of 2.5 db But you must make sure the traps are set properly or you will have troubles
