I totally forgot that picture...

Hey again everybody. I have a meet up scheduled this weekend to check out an MX-70. I've been researching to see what I need to look out for, and the overwhelming problems are the relays and output drivers/amplifiers on the audio cards. Could someone tell exactly where the output driver is...

I know... that was a little bit harsh. I think I was projecting a little bit there. I was more mad that I didn't get home earlier, or leave a note to leave it in the shade. It was probably mostly my fault... stupid idiot me! :o

Thanks guys - puts me at ease. That's kind of what I was thinking, but I know the medium is temperature sensitive so I wanted to make sure.

So, I just received two reels of 1" RMGI SM911 and the stupid idiot mail person left the box in between a glass storm-door and the main door in direct sunlight. It wasn't that hot today, but I got home after the sun went down to find my $300+ worth of tape still really hot sitting in the worst...

Yep, I mix directly from the 1/2" 8 track (hopefully soon to be 1" 16 track!!) to 1/4" 2 track. I just can't stand bringing a computer screen into the recording process. IMO music is a spatial, not visual, medium, and for me I tend to make much better musical decisions when I can't see the...

Nice Find! I still use mine for live purposes, and I love the sound of this era of Tascam boards. I did a lot of recording on that board, and I was never displeased with the results. Best of luck with the upgrades!

It's funny, I'm at this exact point right now too and I feel your guys' pain... I've been putting off upgrading all my cabling for a while now (I'm gonna do it, I swear!). It's just so expensive to do it all at once! And I seem to buy more gear or microphones or reel to reels instead :D...

I just want to second (or third...) what others have said. In today's world, sitting in on a studio session where analog is the main medium is almost impossible. Sometimes I feel like I've learned everything I know about tape machines from digging through posts in the Analog Only forum of...

Hey everybody. Thanks, as always, for the help. After assessing the situation a little more, I contacted the seller and politely told him what I was seeing regarding the condition of the machine. I told him that it really wasn't in the condition that he said it was in and I just asked if I...

Okay, so I took the plunge today... and I'm on the edge of regretting it now. I picked up that MS-16 from the aforementioned seller today. Machine, remote/auto-locator, VU's (obviously), TASCAM rack (not original casing it came in), and 5 rolls of 3M 966 and a pancake of 986 (yes, not 996...

From what I've gathered, I'm pretty sure you need the lunchbox or a similar unit to make 500 series equipment work. It's kind of like a modular synth - the chasis that holds each piece of gear is what provides power to the individual units. If there is a way to hook them up without a radial...

Yeah, and I totally understand the completed listings/what an item sold for price, but the problem I see is when an item is not listed that often (or is a rarer piece) and 9guitar is the only one listing said item. When there aren't a lot of comparable sales (completed listings) the listing...

Has anybody else seen this dude inflating prices on ebay? Look at this FOR REPAIR Tascam 246 he has up right now! Tascam 246 Portastudio for Repair Vintage Pro 4 Track Cassette Recorder DBX | eBay That's just crazy!! For repair?! I looked at the description of why it's not working and...

Thanks for the advice everyone! The seller didn't really get that irritated with me asking about the dbx... it was through email correspondence so I may be over thinking it. I'm not too worried about him being an untrustworthy dude. Anyway, I will let you all know what happens. I'm still...

Right now there are two MS-16's in my area that are potentially available. The one I posted about earlier was a "make me an offer" kind of a deal (so I did) - this machine has brand new heads, but is missing the dbx units (I asked him if they were "missing" and he got angry because they were...

Thanks! Just for reference, does the normal isopropyl alcohol treatment work in this situation? And then water (or rubber cleaner) on the pinch roller?

So I found an MS-16 in a local studio, and they are willing to sell it! The guy who owns it said that the machine hasn't been in use in several years, but they replaced the heads on the machine and they have less than 100 hours on them! It's missing the NR units, but I am willing to have to...

I've only used the Ghost, but I love mine. I am new to the board and haven't properly used the preamps, but from what I've heard they are great (I mostly use outboard pre amps anyway). I have the Ghost 24, but there is a 32 channel version (and even a 24 channel expander). The EQ (two bands...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I was thinking that the MS-16 (15ips) is the machine I'm going to be looking for... It seems like the machine that was the most popular/most mass produced, so parts are going to be more available. But the ATR-60 looks like a killer machine too. Anyone here...
