it took me two years to find the one you sold me :thumbs up:

in the end it all depends on how good is the machine that you have a sight on. There are some machines that have seen very low usage and others that have been to hell and back many times. I bought a 32 which is the 2 track sister of the 38. It was almost new, in its original box and no head...

:facepalm:

that is great. it could be a great project. Is this guy selling them cheaper than the ebay ones ?

the OS is 20.91 in such a case what can be done. Is it possible to find new EPROMs ? if it is socketed i can probably copy it from another machine if i can find one.

Hi, does anyone here knows well the Studer A807 ? i ran into a deal and wanted to get some advice, here is what i saw: Heads: They have some wear and one of them is starting to show some uneven wear, i think they need to be relapped. Not sure how much will that be for these heads maybe in the...

if for sale, ive just sent you a PM.

I have outgrown my mackie 16-8, which works quite nice, it is an inline console, which is what i am looking for. one option is to expand with the 24E module that adds 24 channels to my mackie. Another option that i saw was the Soundcraft Ghost 24 or 32. WHich seems to be a very nice console...

U5 is an open loop amplifier, the only thing that will have an effect on the gain (thus the peak LED level) will be R310 which is the same meter adjustment. In other words you can't adjust the peak LED independently of the meter level. So it is designed to match, meaning, that you set the...

hey Ron, just saw the schematics. so it is safe to jump the COLD and GND pins. that makes it easier, just use an RCA to XLR adapter that shorts those two and feed it 1.22V, to do that, put the LMV181 meter in "3" in the scale and measure the 1.22V there for the 4dbu. There must be a...

ok, this is how i would do it: 1. The LMV-181A is TrueRMS meter with high bandwidth, to that is not a problem, you have the right equipment 2. 0 db on a 4dbu balanced signal means 1.22Vrms - that is the voltage that you need to measure in the RMS meter. You put it in scale "3" and measure...

I agree with the baby Ampex i terms of the basics of the features. By the time electronics advanced enough to allow microporcessor controlled transports Ampex was well out of the picture in terms of tape recorder machine production. i agree with the flimsy comment for the 38. The rest of...

Those heads look pretty worn. +the "disclaimer" of the seller, i think the writing is on the wall. Even if you get it for $200, that machine doesnt look good and you will spend probably a significant amount of time and money on it. Replacement heads for that are also very hard to find. The...

it is. worth a try instead of the $250. Based on what you describe it sounds like the problem is that. If you are taking it to a shop make sure you take it to one with proven experience on these decks.

remove connectors and put deoxit on them. also on the female slots where the cards are inserted. On the switches, did you make sure you put the deoxit inside where the actual contact is ?

use deoxit on the sync/repro switches. I would say in all switches.

can the aluminum (top) part of the hub be separated from the base ? (reel table) ? can you take a picture of the top of the 8516 reel table, so the idea is to detach the aluminum piece and attach it to the MS16 reel table somehow, so you keep the same reel table

take a picture of the position of the potentiometers for tension and just increase the back tension temporarily to run the experiment and see if the behavior changes. Then you can roll them back into their original position.

increase the back tension and test again. use the EDIT mode as stated in the manual FF and REW back tension.

you may have a tension problem. Are the tension rollers moving down as the tape winds so they trigger a stop ? can you shoot a video when that happens ?
