AN ONLINE ACID7 BROTHER (I can hardly believe I found one) Protech == Reference my recent post on Sony's Acid User forum: HERE I really like the Korg nanoKONTROL for general DAW control, and the Korg padKONTROL for drums and more. The pK pads can also control DAW operations, as they can be...

Thanks Tim and thanks Dan. I appreciate the suggestions, and really appreciate the warnings. :D I'm not very enthused about selling online, so I'm glad to have advice on which "dark alleys to avoid". I expect to construct a well protected plywood crate, assuming I'll have to ship this...

"WOW- Boy this thread hit me right between the eyes -THANKS" ~ Priceless I am truly thankful for all the help freely given here, from Dan/cjacek, DrZEE, TGoFM, Beck, et al. And DonTaylor's happy, empowered comments exemplify the other great benefit of user forums like this. That is...

Thanks for asking, TGoFM. It's done. It's all back together. I runs PERFECTLY. I'll post photo and details as soon as I can take a picture. ('Not sure why I need to post a picture. It looks like every other 244, but this one's SPECIAL now because I saved it :D, wutta dork...) And...

Amen. Due to TEAC/Tascam's commitment, this 244 can carry on for at least another seven or eight years. :drunk:

Hey, Dan == I'm sorry to hear how you got hosed, but I appreciate hearing that I didn't (or at least not as much as you :D). That bites. I love my country--especially its founding principles--but considering our national "politics of the moment", I think I might prefer Canada - despite...

New Parts are In I received the parts from TEAC exactly one week from the date of order, and just in time for the weekend. Good service and excellent timing :D They arrived very well packed, and TEAC is a class act in all respects. I'm surprised that the pinch roller consists of the entire...

The Purchase Well, I bit the bullet (tastes like :mad:ld rubber) and made The Purchase from TEAC/Tascam: a) Upper Ilder Assembly A b) Lower Idler Assembly B c) Pinch Roller Prices remained as they were quoted a month earlier. All in stock. $5 flat-rate shipping to be sent out on Monday...

It takes two (or more) to carry on this kind of instructive conversation. Couldn't do it without your knowledgeable input. When I post online, it's usually in reference to technical questions, and unfortunately I almost always start out a Seeker of Information (rather than a Provider). But I...

I find it impossible to measure the inside or outside diameter of a flexible object. I can tell you this, though: a) the washer's outside diameter is the same or very slightly smaller than that of the Tascam tire b) the washer's inside diameter is visibly smaller than that of the Tascam tire...

You were right! Well, Dan === I found rubber faucet aerator washers locally (see below) and they set me back $0.67 each. :eek: For the record, they're made by DANCO of Irving, TX, described as: #4 AERATOR WASHER 23/32" O.D. x 31/64" I.D. DANCO Stock No. 36170 B They're a good fit, but...

Thanks, LDS, but I already purchased and installed the belts. Here's what I found on your suggested "Vita Drive" at THIS LINK, see 6th post: I have a bottle of Vita-Drive rubber cleaner that I've probably had for 40 years, maybe more. Lasts a long time. I did a Google search for it to see if...

How to feed the beast? Dan == I've seen various posts on the topic of TAPE PREFERENCES, some from you, but could you help me boil it down to simple terms. I have 12 of these, unopened, purchased about 7 years ago for projects not involving the 244: Maxell Normal bias UR 90min (see image...

Dan == A. It's been spot-on for me all along. I double-checked my User CP settings, and all was well. Received notice of your most recent post too. Maybe check your CP settings (Email, Subscriptions, Notifications). B. The brass "spooling motor shaft" (terminology!) is clean as a whistle...

I'm Buying New Tires, and maybe a muffler and shocks... Thanks a LOT, cjacek (Hey, what's your name, anyway? I'm Tom). I had no understanding of how PLAY speed was achieved, as compared to the FF speed. Nor did I understand any other technical aspects of how a tape transport works. For years...

Point taken. Please see my post to TGoFM above and do likewise. Thanks

Money is TIGHT(!) right now and instead of making a little by selling this machine, I find I'm spending. But you're right. In for a penny, in for a pound. I revised my video (and shortened it). If you and Beck and cjacek have a few minutes, would you please go there, watch the vid and...

cjacek == It's not really loud, or siren-like. I was very close in with the camera, and as I said, I boosted the audio volume 6dB. That's a considerable increase (3dB doubles perceived loudness), but the whole point of putting up the video was to demonstrate the nature or quality of the...

INSTALLED NEW BELTS - They're perfect Just a quick follow-up to report that the belts I received from Vintage Electronics installed with no trouble.

Video Up I uploaded a VIDEO of my tests of the new belts, so you can hear the sounds. I boosted the volume of the audio 6 dB above what was recorded by my camera. That's a lot, but I wanted to be sure you could hear the audio clearly. I made a red dot on the white idler tire wheel, at the...
