forget the synth, the electric sitar works great here. And the haircut, of course.

Dear Tascam, Could you at least make a limited production run of critical replacement parts? headstacks, motors, and whatever else is hard to replace?

it would have a "tube" in it.

good one beck

I think the old ones sound better.

Hi Tascam, some extra parts would be nice while you are at it.

Three inches? Now i feel inadequate.

IIRC VST in LA is the best and also pretty much the only place around. I think there was a guy in new jersey that worked on them, also.

Actually, if i had a 100 large, i'd by a roll of tape and a new mic, and keep recording until the money ran out.

and analog recording decks of course....

If I were spending the $100 grand that Otto has graciously allocated, above, i'd spend a good chunk of my budget on creating a vibe with a functional kitchen, some comfortable furniture, and ping pong table, pool table, old school video games, bball hoop, batting cage, barbecue area, cool...

you may find one cheaper, but you'd be hard pressed to find one in better shape.

The good news: digital recording technology has made it easy for anyone to write, record, and distribute music which you carry in your pocket. The bad news: bacause it doesnt represent skill and effort and there is no scarcity, it no longer has any value.

well, the 2 things are not mutually exclusive. You can mix down to tape, listen to it at home on tape, make a few copies on tape for friends, and still have a digital version available

this is awesome.

no, not been there, but have seen it many times. Let's face it, krunchy sound quality aside, ones and zeros are sure are easy to move around.

Second and third generation safety masters. copies of copies of copies. Or with vinyl, unsold boxes of expensive records in the closet.

Because it's wildly inpractical?

Hi David, I'm struck by how primitive the head and other stuff looks. You can see all the tooling marks. I checked out your links, very cool!

spring cleaning time. i can relate. If no one else takes it, i would be interested in the relapped headblock and maybe a few extra parts from the parts deck.
