Hi, A friend of mine recently got a free 424 for free as it wasn't powering on. I bought a new power adapter for it and made sure it was the same exact one for the machine. I got the thing to turn on but after testing it I see that the capstan motor doesn't run at all. The FF and RW will both...

Need one of those, if you're selling please let me know

I've been recording on my Audio Technica RMX64 the past two days and really love it's mixer section. The EQ section has a great ability to switch to high and low shelves and the pres are great (phantom power too!) I heard that Neotek designed it but can't find any proof of that. Does anyone...

I'm in agreement with Sweetbeats and think that $400 for a 246 that isn't already tested and sold as a working condition unit is too much. I sold one with all new rubber (belts, idler tires, pinch roller wheel) and Vu meters for $420 this past winter in order to finance an amp and thought it was...

When I started getting back into analog recording a couple years ago, I got a 244 and started reading everything I could about it. I found this site to have a wealth of information and I read every thread mentioning it. I did the same thing when I got my 246 and I just wanted to thank you for...

Nope, those are the only outputs, except for the headphones jack, that the Porta02 has so you're only option is the RCA's. The Prota 02 is the most basic 4-track that Tascam made. As you go up in quality they have higher tape speeds, individual tape outs (so you could run 4 outputs into 4 inputs...

Even better! Thanks man.

Yeah, a little annoying as they have a statement on their site that says something about international orders. I use o-rings for idler tires but they won't work as pinch roller wheel tires. I wish they did. The new ones I got are perfect. They're the real parts made for the 244 so they went in...

The didn't respond to my emails (sent two) I managed to score 2 NOS pinch rollers for the 244/246 off of a guy on Tapeheads. The tire I was originally posting about turned out to be a complete ripoff. The guy sent me a washer! Exactly like you'd put in your faucet. It wasn't even the same...

That's awesome. How random is that? I'm surprised it was $20, as most times the people working at thrift stores have no clue what reel to reels are or what this tape really is. I saw a guy that scored two sealed 10-packs of Maxell 35-90 from a Goodwill on a FB page the other day. His buddy said...

No blankets first!? LOL Good to hear it.

I meant the "Studer would beat the pants off the TEAC any day of the week" comment. Agree with the whole numbers on paper thing as well. I'm finding it to be truer as I gain more experience in this field and hear more machines.

Definitely a Porta Two HS.

Why's he spinning? Don't think he was saying they're in the same league. More like appreciating what a machine with something like 1/32 the width of the J37 per track can do. Obviously the Studer is a different beats in all aspects than a cassette 4-track.

Yeah, they don't even bother responding anymore when the question is about their older analog stuff. At least the stuff I've inquired about (idler tire assemblies, pinch rollers, and belts.) Thanks though. If this place in the UK doesn't ship to me I'm gonna try my luck with one of those tires...

Thank you for the link! i will contact them and see if they're able to ship to NYC. The listing of the tire on ebay shows that 3 people have bought them already but that doesn't mean much in terms of it working correctly or not. I am worried that even if I manage to get it on the the rim that it...

I have a Tascam 244 that I bought locally from CL and replaced the belts and idler tires but the pinch roller wheel needs to be replaced (as usual.) I knew of a seller on eBay located in Germany that sold them, but they no longer offer them so I searched around until I found this... *NEW...

This is interesting Findlay. I hadn't been paying attention as I see these remixes being packaged on the whatever anniversary of whatever album all the time, but now that I keep hearing that this is actually legit I am curious as well. I didn't know they went back to the pre-bounce master tapes...

I think he went AWOL
