Type "new 1/4" tape" in google and places will pop up. Not sure how many dead links but you'll find it. I don't have .5" so I can't speak on that, but I got some great tape through Splicit last month. They're a new company based out of the states. They sell their own formulas and have both...

I'll take it at this point. If anyone else has a useless response feel free to weigh in. Yes, the MT8X is DBX II NR as does the 688. It plays back all 8 tracks at once (Imagine if they'd released an 8-track that only played back 4 tracks at a time? "Hey, we said you can record 8-tracks. We...

I've asked friends, and have looked all over the web for the answer to this but seems like nobody knows. Can I play a tape recorded on the Tascam 688 on my Yamaha MT8X? I've looked at the head designs on both and it looks like it I might be able to as they both have the same staggered track...

Look into buying a gently used 4 input interface anyways. If you're digitizing your 4-track cassettes, better to get it done in one pass, then to do it again when (if) you end up buying a 4 input interface. It's way better to capture each track on it's own and have them sync up perfectly, and...

Did you guys see that box of assorted clips? The fine print says that ordres from the US are subject to an additional charge of $100!? What?

I'm leaning towards the Juno 2, but I think it's probably smartest to just save up for the Minillogue.The seller said he'd accept $190 for the Juno though so I'm still debating it.

It's really a matter of preference and if you think you have a steady hand enough to get that tiny c-clip off of the top idler without popping it off into the bowels of the unit or worse, the floor. I've never done it through the bottom either and I've replaced them on several 246's. The 244 is...

Good luck Beeg.

They're living in a camper though.

Hey. Apologies for staying over on the tape section and never coming in here for a little meet n greet. If you will forgive me, I have a question for anyone who knows 80's synths and can steer me in the right direction. I'm primarily a guitar player with a background in underground/noise/indie...

Terry is definitely legit, and has a very good reputation for doing great work on otherwise hard to find pinch roller wheels. Getting the pinch roller wheel out of the 244 however, isn't really an easy task. Follow the directions on that Dr Zee site and you'll be able to do it, but just know...

That's a tough job, but if yr careful and work slow you can do it. I have taken the face off of the 244 (which isn't the easiest, but again, doable) and removed that tiny black plastic c-ring that's on top of the idler tire assembly (very, very carefully as it's small and if lost will be next to...

Yeah, that's annoying.Where did you get the new pinch roller wheel?

I've used needle nose pliers before and even the prongs on a fork, but it seems yrs is on really tight. Every time I've unscrewed the transport cover for the first time on a new machine it's always pretty easy to get off so I wonder why it's on there so tight. The tool that's pictured there...

I've dealt with him a couple times for belts and idler tires. The reason I say to look on eBay is because this dude sells them for a lot cheaper than Tascam (example, Tascam charged me something like $20-$30 for the idler assembly when all I really needed were the actual tires which you can get...

No need to call Tascam for 244 belts and pinch roller, they're all on ebay if you look. Marrs belts are the best IMO. But, if those have turned to jelly you're going to need to change to idler tires too. The belts are pretty straightforward, but the pinch roller and idlers aren't the easiest...

Well, the firewire will only fit in there right one way, but it will fit the other way too (just not as snug). I wasn't looking at it head on when I went to plug it back in and kind of just put it in without knowing it was upside down. Like I said, it doesn't fit as well, but it does fit. I've...

I just saw this on eBay. The seller says that he has the other belt that you may need too and will throw it in for $5 more. Check it out Marantz PMD720 740 Main A and B Drive Belts | eBay

I'm in a tough spot here guys. Yesterday, I unplugged everything from my Pro 40 and after I plugged it back in the FW Active light wouldn't come on so it obviously wasn't even showing up in my computer (Mac Book air. I'm going from the firewire out of the Pro 40 into a Thunderbolt adapter into...

Yeah, those tapes are nice. If I could ever find a Maxell XL-I S, I'd try it in my 246, or Audio Technica RMX64 to see what it sounded like. I've never really heard a quality type I before that I was aware of. I've heard that those TDK's you mentioned sounded better than type II for some things.
