    Another Akai MG1212.......

    The Mg1214 is different in size??? I thought it was the same shell as the 1212, but just a different colour.

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Nice! There is actually one of those close to me that I spotted on kijiji. He wants $300 cdn. Same usual problems. Transport. If it's still listed in a month or so, I may try to talk him down. My mg1212 is cool and sounds nice, but has a few functions that don't work. Would be nice to have a...

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Just fifnished a tune on the Akai. Posted in the analog recording thread. I have some questions... Maybe @deslog you might know. Is there a way to monitor using the effects. I like to use a bit of reverb while doing my vocal parts. But while recording, I can't seem to get any while monitoring...

    Just quickly whipped this one up today. Recorded on the Akai MG1212. Kinda sloppy, kinda repetitive.... https://soundcloud.com/jasonharvey/lay-down-jason-harvey-akai-mg1212

    Cool! I really like the odd time part around the 2:30 mark. Alternating between a bar of 4 and 2 ??? I like the bass tone too. Has some bite to it. That organ at 5min is pretty powerful when it come in. Nice!

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Think I'm gonna try this as a last resort. I have an electronic supply near me that has racks of these relays, IC's etc.... you name it. The only thing I get confused with is the numbers. Do they have to match exactly? The relay I want to try and replaced ise marked 'Omron G2E-182P 12 VDC' Do I...

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Basically what happened was I had the control pcb unmounted from the frame it was screwed to. It was sitting at an angle like in the picture i have posted. The left underside bottom of the pcb was more or less touching the metal and that's what it shorted out on. I think this didn't have...

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Not sure how I'd go about doing that. The only way I've tried testing it during recording. I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything as the counter is all over the place. So it's not striping the control track. And as I mentioned earlier, with the cover off the relay, it's not closing when the the...

    Another Akai MG1212.......

    Just been doing a little prodding around to see if I can figure out the control track issue. As I reported earlier, the control button is not triggering the control relay. I don't think the button is faulty, because the red LED that indicates the control track lights up when pressed. I took the...

    Not sure. Looks like there is a pair of headphones hanging from it. Maybe some kind of monitoring device????

    I have some tapes. New and used. They're getting harder to come by. I'm always keeping an eye out for them. As for reloading the tape shell. I heard Maxell XLII EE tape is what can be used. I'm keeping an eye out for that stuff too. Would be a fun experiment to try and reload a cassette.
