Sounds like you both are willing at this point to go ahead with the claim process. I hope you both can get this settled and behind you. These kind of things are very troubling. I bought a disc from a individual on ebay that was described as in mint condition. When I got it it had many fine...

If you've got a dvd player that has discrete audio outs for the 5.1 you just take those to your multi-track. Panasonic makes one - DVD F87 - for right at $110 or so. If your dvd player can do DTS (which most of them can) you'd have to approach it in the following manner below. There is an item...

Another avenue that came to mind is the 5.1 version of the Love album. I don't know how much separation of the individual elements there might be, but it could possibly let you fool around with the mix of the tunes included in that project. The surround version of Yellow Submarine might allow...

I would like to add that I have discovered I get "playback" through 3 when playing in reverse - right to left. Still no signal in normal playback mode - left to right. Also I tweaked the playback head and it was indeed off by a track's worth. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I apologize for not grasping this sooner. My brain is saying the capstan must "pull" the tape past the heads. Of course you're right. It doesn't make any difference where the capstan is located. I checked it out and yes indeed it does reverse. Thank you for your patience.

I have a 2340 R I recently purchased from an individual on ebay. It was an as-is sale so I can't complain too much about the deck. Question 1: Track 3 has no sound output. I get needle bump powering up and down on all VUs. I get an increase/decrease of hiss from 3 when adjusting the output...

That and the fact that having any of their tracks to do something as you suggest would be a potential goldmine for anyone that had them which is why "no unauthorized personnel shall ever have access" to them. I know this isn't what you're really looking for, but finding the quad versions of...

My next question is one I've already asked - how can it play/record in reverse without a capstan on the left side to pull the tape through at the proper speed? That's the part I don't understand. I did "foil" a reel of Maxell UD tape and nothing happened as it passed through the heads. I don't...

So auto reverse really means auto rewind?

I know this is not in your area, but Vintage Electronic in Colorado could do the service for you. You might want to check out their site as there are links to other folks who do servicing also. There might be someone closer to you. Here's their link http://www.vintage-electronics.cc/

Thanks for the input Herm. I'd be dumping the tapes into ProTools or GarageBand and I could adjust the pitch with a ProTools plug. One reason for wanting to do it with something like the 388 is due to the condition of some of the carts. I figured by going rtr I could avoid that end of the...

In one aspect it might be. I would have to find someone with a 388 first, then ship the 40 tapes with the hopes that after disassembly the individual would reassemble the tapes which would be asking a lot of someone unfamiliar with 8 track cartridges. I would really like to just borrow a 388...

Also, balanced lines are less apt to be influenced by RFI and EMI resulting in a more quiet signal. Richard and boingo said it best. You can get into cable that is balanced known as "star quad" which a bit more robust in eliminating unwanted noise in a signal.

I've got some old quad 8-track tapes I want to turn into dvd-audio discs so I can still enjoy/listen to them in an easy fashion. The main problem being the reliability of the the deck I have being able to play the tapes. I figured if I could find a rtr deck that could do 8 tracks I would be able...

Mine does not have the switches on the head cover. It does say the deck has simul track on the head cover. Which obviously means it won't allow you to monitor off the record head while laying down another track. My brain has been somewhere else for some reason. but this was pretty obvious eh? I...

I've got a 2340R and it has simul-sync. My understanding is simul-sync is what allows one to record say up to three tracks, reduce those to one along with a live track, then record 2 tracks along with one live and reduce those etc. What I can't figure out is the "automatic reverse". I put some...
