    Understanding UTC transformer

    Steve, "green-jumpers" have nothing to do with cables screens ...I just 'placed' that note there under the black connector "wire" that connects screens of the cables. The green jumpers are just the connections between pins of the transformer as shown. Pin "1" of XLR connected to the screen of...

    Understanding UTC transformer

    Steve, you can try using it as LoZ mic input for concertone into "HI IMP. INPUT" and see how it works (or, say, how it "sounds"). See the diagram attached. While there you also can try different inmpedance option on primary side as per #6 in pdf, (if you feel like experimenting :) ). Turn the...

    Understanding UTC transformer

    you can do this with A-20 (if you really want to, that is ..;) ) , you can find those on eBay from time to time, but don't buy them for more than something like 40 bucks or so. I had few of those., but no more...sold them all. Those are great transformers for audio, but I figured that they...

    Ampex makes............black boxes?

    Uh! Speaking of faithfulness... :) Since the core of the upcoming "hallowee-y grail" product will be nothing less than the legacy of the AMPEX Corporation, then I expect that it will include Sticky-Shed Syndrome button (feature) with adjustable Severity Knob and ( as a special setting) random...

    teac 144/tascam series head issue

    Honestly I don't understand what exactly do you mean by ALL of this. What do you mean by "engagin tape" ??? "Machine runs through the motion like it wants to..." - I don't know what do you mean. ..."but nothing" - - I don't understand. :D Can you try to describe exactly what you are doing and...

    teac 144/tascam series head issue

    Oh, Daniel! 144 mechanism is somewhat different from 244/246... there are no idle tires there... they are plastic hubs with micro-groove (they are like gear od a sort :eek:), and instead of metal groovy pulley (as on 246) it is a pulley with rubber "shoe" on it... that thing gets bad too...well...

    teac 144/tascam series head issue

    Adam, I've made the best photos I could (it's pretty tricky there to make a shot :) )... See attached photos. You need some sort of long nose tool to get the belt there, well maybe you can manage to slip the belt there with a thin screwdriver or something. You need to slip the belt between the...

    How the Tables Have Turned, Mr. tapeandtape!

    selling those NOS reels for 40-50 bucks as starting price is about half-price of a new reels. Also today's new reels/tapes are not the same as "those old ones" and some "other analog people" may prefer those old ones (for what ever reason that may be). Start at "half price" and let those "other...

    My PERFECT 244 - another Bad Rubber inquiry

    Q1 a) - No. b) The way it is designed it will permit a slight variation of the idler tire size with no problem. Q2. DO NOT use wD40 on electronic components! WD40 is for cleaning rusty screws, hardware and such. Use CAIG products http://store.caig.com/ or radioshack cleaner...

    How the Tables Have Turned, Mr. tapeandtape!

    post direct link to your item, so someone here who may be interested could simply buy a reel or two... give some more time before the offer from t@t expires. If you don't get better offers, then sell it to t@t. No big deal. Life is short :D btw, you never know who you selling to anyway (well...
