thanks !!

were you able to remove the front cover completely ? if you have the manual, you can look at the blueprint of tha assembly and go with that. I have two of these machines, i can check tonight. I dont remember it being super hard.

As i am endlessly home building an AQ-65 clone. I need to find the ELCO 38 connector that goes in the back of the MS16. I can find some for like $40-$50 with pins, cover, etc, any ideas of an alternate source with lower prices ? thanks

Just use the UHF to RCA. No need to connect the output to anything

can someone upload this to hifiengine.com ? (not associated) but i found a lot of good and free manuals there. Time to return something to the community :)

some RMG tape has some oxide shedding issues. i had some and they exchanged it. they said i got an old batch from 2008 or something. where did you buy it ?

a 20Mhz scope is enough, you wont need more than that for tape recorder electronics work. As jpmorris said, you wont find a signal of more than 200Khz in a tape recorder, so you are way far. 20Mhz is probably the lowest bandwidth scope that you can find (relatively modern ones) You need to...

what is your budget ?. too many options. how familiar are you with electronics and instrumentation. IS this somethign that you watn to learn how to do in the long run or this one time ? it maybe a significant investment ($200-$800) range. I would also get a Leader LMV181 ac millivoltmeter...

you can use an iPhone app as an oscillator through the console. You need a "true RMS" meter for calibrating levels, that has to be very accurate, you can measure levels in the scope, remember that Vrms= a/Sqrt(2) - where "a" is the amplitude in the scope. A regular AC meter will not work for...

Scope: BNC Recorder inputs and outputs: RCA AF meter: Ideal one is the Leader 181 (get it on ebay for less than $50) it is a true RM AC millivoltmeter. A regular DVM will NOT work here. That has both banana plugs and a "UHF" connector. you can use a UHF to RCA adapter. Avoid the banana...

you can make one yourself, of course not the same, but quite good and better than nothing. http://www.mzentertainment.com/pics/...go_project.jpg

spool winds the tape @80ips. Full wind speed is ~350ips. Play speed for the MS16 is 15 or 30ips of course depending on your machine.

Rewinding will cancel part of the preecho (print through), that is the reason. The MS16 has spool mode. Press FF or RW twice and it will enter spool mode

so you dont have an open coil. The issue is mechanical, probably the calibration is now lost. and you wont be able to make it read the right scale again. being pessimistic here

i've been asking a related question for a while on different forums. And an ex-BASF employee nicknamed Wilhelm came back with the best explanation of why you need to store it tails out.: Storing tape tails out is done for two reasons. First, that means that the tape was played through and...

get some RCA Y splitters - Amazon. where in CA are you? i am in norcal

I'm one of them, I still owe you the tsr8 and tascam42

You need a BNC to RCA cable. Something like this: Hosa BNR-106 6-Feet 75-Ohm COAX BNC to RCA Cable:Amazon:Musical Instruments Did you get the MS16 from Georgia ? How was it ? Post pics

while overdubbing ? or on playback ? while overdubbing is normal, but that does not remain on tape
