I don't see why not. A lot of people still use regular 99 percent isopropyl on heads. Remember, I linked you to a canadian amazon site.

You're not really doing anything wrong. But there are products for that specific task. https://www.amazon.ca/MG-Chemicals-Liquid-Cleaner-Bottle/dp/B005DNQZX0

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more pics of that beauty.

Very nice acquisition there SB. I just stumbled across a video of someones track they laid down on one and it sounds really good and punchy for a cassette.

Yeah...The prices are high. And they will only stay that way or get higher as the years go on. I bought my first one about 8 years ago for $500 canadian. Then I came across another one that wasn't working for $150. I fixed that one myself. I just had a bad resistor that came loose. Now it works...

Cory, you came across like a well spoken, patient member of this forum. You're definately not in the wrong here. The other member did come across a little snarky in his responses. You have put in many, many hours helping people out here. You don't always have to feel obligated to either. Don't...

I just finished using another new tape that I just unwrapped today and it worked great. No shed, not even a spec of oxide on the heads. So that's a good thing. Maybe the first one was just a bad one. I have used all my used tapes and they are all good. As for the idler. It's not too difficult...

I believe it does. I have 3 new old stock tapes. I recently opened one and tried it and it was leaving a lot of residue all over the transport. Rew/ffw was very sluggish with this tape too. I have a few used tapes that don't have this problem and they work fine. I'm thinking the other 2 new...

I always use a flashlight when re-seating cards. You gotta make sure everything is lined up correctly.

Yep. Probably just gonna roll it down a hill:p

Killer stuff!!! Right up my alley. Nice work

The small label has a # 456-970111 then there is 332603410103 and then 93344 Unfortunately I don't own a machine that supports this tape size:o

Was browsing at the Thrift store today and saw a familiar looking grey box peeking out from under some junk. Pulled it out and it's a NOS reel of Ampex 456 2 inch tape. The reel is still sealed in the plastic. I ended up buying it for the hell of it. It cost me $20. It's most likely sticky...

Have you tried checking with Teac ? I ordered one from Teac Canada. This was about 7-8 years ago though. They place their orders with Teac in the US. You Could try Teac in California to see if they have any left.

There's no way this one "kinda sucks" ! For a 4 track cassette, it sounds great!

Here's one I just finished. Recorded on the Akai MG1214. The mix is kinda all over the place, as is the playing.:D And I feel as though I have ripped off an existing song. Just can't put my finger on it:confused: https://soundcloud.com/jasonharvey/hang-my-head-jason-harvey-akai-mg1214

Nice! Makes me want to Cha-cha!

I have never really messed with the expansion on mine, but I do use the compression and like the effect. You can squash the signal pretty good with it. There's no make up gain though. It would be cool if that could be a mod on this unit. I think it sounds nice on acoustic guitar.

Capacitor gone bad?
