    Tascam 388 Problem

    Could be a blow fuse. Remove the top panel above the meters, fuses are on the right side.

    Tascam 388 - Track 7 & 8 not recording

    Hard to say, though the problem sounds like it is isolated on the record part of the board. Do you have a schematic? A scope would help too. A bad solder joint can cause problems too.

    Tascam 388 - Track 7 & 8 not recording

    Demag will bring back high frequency response. Make sure the heads are spit shine clean. I would pull all the cards, deox with electrical cleaner and reseat them. See if that helps.

    Tascam 388 no right channel

    Yes, that's the one. Goes across the channel and monitor boards.

    Tascam 388 no right channel

    You could try pulling the metal bottom off the unit and reseating the buss board that goes perpendicular across the channel boards. Just push /pull it lightly. I've done this while running tone to the inputs and you can see the result.

    Tascam 388 - Track 7 & 8 not recording

    I recently had an issue with Tk 8 not recording. All Tks would play back previously recorded content. I took the 6/8 rec/play pcb out and checked every solder joint for continuity, and found a bad trace coming off pin 8 on op amp u103. I soldered in a jumper and fixed the problem. All Tks record...

    Tascam 388 no right channel

    Hello, I had an issue a few years ago with my L/R assign buttons. They produced no sound. Turned out to be the u104 chip on the monitor buss B pcb. You indicate having mono/summing issues during playback. Not sure replacing u104 would fix that, but might be worth a try. Are you monitoring...

    Tascam 388 Tk 8 issue

    Ok. It's fixed! Got the volt meter out and check every solder joint on the rec/play pcb for continuity, and found a bad trace. Jumpered the trace and back in business. I thank those who chimed in to help. Love forums like this.

    Tascam 388 Tk 8 issue

    Well, I replaced k202 and it did not fix the issue. I went ahead and replaced u203, which is an op amp chip, and that didn't work either. Still not recording on Tk 8. I couldn't find a replacement for relay k201 locally. I think that part or equivalent is available. Still looking for help.

    Tascam 388 Tk 8 issue

    Yes, looking at the schematic, I see 2 relays, k201 & k202, which may be the problem. They switch the rec/play function on the rec/play board, and might be stuck. I recorded tone with the boards in their proper slots, played back and got nothing on Tk 8. All other Tks were fine. I switched cards...

    Tascam 388 Tk 8 issue

    Hello. My 388 has developed a record issue with Tk 8 only. I can play back and erase previously recorded content on Tk 8, but when I try to record, I get nothing. I've swapped the rec/play pcb's, and the issue is on the 6/8 rec/play pcb, as it follows the card. All buss I/O's work as well as all...
