    Tascam 388 stopped playback (the battle rages on)

    someone said something around here before which i think ended up being true. Teac montebello service is not necessarily the best, and two, there are no heads left for the 388, making it a dead end format. I'm happy to stick with 1/2" for now for 8 tracks. This 388 looks very nice, enjoy...

    Fix and keep? Fix and sell? Part it out?

    i always loved the M series but never owned one. They really have all the features of a great inline console. About the Tascam 32s. One of them i restored to like new state and it took me a while, so i developed this emotional attachment tho those machines, but i know i have to let them...

    Otari mx 5050 2 track problems.

    i had an issue on my 5050 that was a bad transistor that was giving me some strange noise after heating up. It maybe something similar, mine was in the playback section

    Which MRL would you buy?

    NAB and IEC are two types of equalization. That means that both the playback and record circuit in the machine need to have that curve in order to record and playback properly. Some machines are switchable. The MS16 is not one of them.

    Which MRL would you buy?

    For that machine and tape described, get the MRL 441-673-482-102. That is 15 ups, IEC, 250nwb/m Which is the factory settings for that machine. The MS16 supports only IEC if i am not wrong, according to the manual.

    Tascam MS16 users....ever wondered how much life left in your heads?

    hey, i missed the auction too. The head sold for $370 or something like that which is maybe still a good price for a new head like that.

    Interface Cable ID

    yes so the MTS-1000 connects to the ES-50 which connects to the MS-16 or ATR-60. THe MTS-1000 uses the accessory 2 which is serial (for machines like TSR8, MSR16, MSR24, 688, 238, etc), the MS-16 has a parallel interface (the 38 pin connector or any other machine with Accessory 1 port) so the...

    i was wrong here, i was referring to the tascam ES-50 instead of IF-1000

    that will be picture #1 but you also need the Tascam IF-1000 for that, and it will work, and yes the MS16 you can control capstan speed through a pin on that connector for a synchronizer

    Studer A807 help

    the celebration didn't last long... :( I continued to adjust the machine and i found that the tension pots have no effect. So basically the back tension control doesn't work, i will check now the rest of the circuit as likely there are other issues with the control circuit. So i'll keep...

    Studer A807 help

    I'm happy, i found the problem :) I traced the spool motor control signal and found a bad OP-AMP (NE-5532). There was no output change even when the input was changing. IC11 on the transport control board, Replaced it and voila. It's working now. How did that happen ? good question, but...

    Studer A807 help

    thanks for the info. As i have two machines, i swapped the ROM chips. THe one with the issue is 20/92 version, i swapped it for a 20/91 from the other machine, behavior is the same. I think it is related to a sensor as the transport thinks there is tape. I tried cleaning the sensors but...

    Studer A807 help

    Just got my studer A807. It works but it has a problem. AS i was doing a full check up i saw something strange on the brakes, so i calibrated the brakes, and i found that the left motor is always running, even with no tape installed on the machine. By simply powering on the machine, the left...

    Good to see interest on it. I have it working now with also an iPad app. Added new functions to it ala AQ-65. I'm also debating between wifi and Bluetooth as the comminterface. Also adding Studer support soon as I got an A807 recently. I would like to productize it if there is enough...
