Hi guys I just bought a Fostex G24 24 track recorder. Finally had some time to load some tape on it and check it out. The functions like rewind, fast forward,play and record all work. What I need help with is I can't get any input on most all of the channels. Channel 12,14, 24+ another few show...

16 track Hi there I am interested in the 16 track. Do you have some pictures? Glenn.:p

Yes I have a Behringer, C-1 tube,Sampson I might sell,but still looking. GT

I managed to mess up a few mixes with a GML 8200. The thing can make mixes so clear I went nuts. Used it to master a pretty important project around 2002. At least it was a teachable moment. Never strap new devices across the mix buss in the middle or end of a project. The t1951 sounds good...

Your right batman. Yes they have long worked out their problems. I am in the middle of a cheap compressor buying binge. Waiting for the Rnc to come this week. GT

People's idea of a good transparent compressor I have used a Distressor for over 10 years now. I like it for vocals. Many a times i won't compress guitars or other instruments on the way in. The reason I like it for vocals is it will hold back even loud vocals. It sounds big and natural. Of...

I recorded on Analog machines in the 60s 70s and 80's. The last 10 years I have been collecting them. Finally figured out they take me back to younger days. Whatever it must mean to me. Find myself getting a motel room in Nashville to pickup a MCI 2"16 track. Or driving down to Miami to pickup a...

I owned a used. 85-16. Never got it working. almost bought one back in the 80's when they first came out. got a 2" 16 track instead. I would get a MS16. Some run at 30 ips some run at 15ips. Not both speeds. If I remember right I believe Jim finch from Tascam told me to stay away from the 85-16...

No the replys are fine. The ff rew and pinch are dead. The rew and ff worked for about 1 hour after I sprayed cleaner inside on the circut boards . Might mean a bad solder joint. will cleand and test switches. Again if old owner is right. I give him a 65%. He said it all worked last time he...

Nobody have or remember working one these old babies? It has to be easier than working on my 2" 16 track? GT

Hi there I was told to try posting a thread here for some help restoring a teac A-3440 I just bought. It is in very good physical shape. The capstan spins when arm is moved. It won't engage the pinch roller when pushing play. So rew ff and play do not work. I cleaned the machine last night and...

No The tape engage ff and rew are dead. I tried pushing the pinch roller. GT.

There was an article where the author talks about Tascam M16 machines either come from the factory either 15 or 30. The Fostex machines I own and have owned have 2 speeds. Either 7.5 and 15 or 15 and 30 ips. I like the highs at 30 ips and the low at 15 ips. If I had to choose 30. You just need...

There is no motor action on the ff or rew when pushing the buttons. with the deck on or off the supply reel spins by hand clockwise with ease. A bit of resistance counterclockwise. The take up reel spins with ease by hand counterclockwise. A bit of resistance spinning clockwise. If you asking...

Hey Gents I bought a Teac A3440 for $80 today. It's in good condition looks wise. I knew it needed work. The capstan spins when the right arm is up. It won't engage the pinch roller when you push play. Also it won't rewind or fast forward. It only has 2 belts. Capstan which is fine and the...

Ok ...problems solved. I just pushed the dancer arm on the supply side up and it goes into fast forward. Push it down and rewind works. This recorder looks almost new. It won't sound like my Tascam ATR80 2",but it's got a punchy sound to it. The price was right. Will look into getting a service...

Ok the guy I bought this deck from said the rewind didn,t work. I can't get fast forward or rewind to kick in. Play and stop work fine. GT.

Yes I can hear the motor turn on. Gt

No I can't turn it backwards while in rewind. GT

Hey gents I just bought a Fostex E16 in very good condition except it won't rewind? Anyone know about these machines? GT
