Hello, I previously posted about a Tascam MSR-16 I purchased. It seemed in pretty good shape. I had no tape so I could not completely check the transport and Play/Rec functions. While checking the input's (from my M-520's Oscillator). I noticed track 16 had a different reaction to the signal...

I've been watching the flee-bay for 1/2 format used Quantegy 456 (or equivalent). I'm not seeing much. Is this a problem? I'm looking for used, as I just want to check the transport, and functions of a MSR-16, I just purchased. Ron

Hello, I picked up a MSR16 last week, It appears really clean, and pretty low mileage. The heads seem to have light wear, and the rubber looks good. But as I have no 1/2" tape (having sold all the ones I had) previously. I can't actually check the R/P functions. I did however, send a few signals...

Hello, Does anyone know if the reel motors on the Teac X2000 model r/r can be lubed? I am considering getting one that possibly has a problem on one. Owner says the supply motor gives a high pitch squeal. I saw a listing on ebay for a maintenance kit that includes belts and some oil. If...

After 12 years my ol' Tascam 388 has come back to me. I gave it to a family member. It was mint!! and also had the owners manual, A wired remote, and one...cool custom built, wood tilting,rolling stand. I hope to get the stand back soon also. Anyway after giving it a quick run through I've...

Hello, Got a DAT Recorder..cheap..Probably should have been free!:facepalm: The more I learn. So I'm clueless about this "R" in the term R-DAT. The unit is an Otari DTR-8S. The manual says to use R-DAT Tape. It came with no tape, So I need at least one to test it out. My question is does it have...

Hello, Anyone know where I can get a free download of the user/service manual for this model? I thought AnalogRules.com was a good place but when I downloaded the manual under the MSR16 link I got the MS-16 Manual . That's very cool..cept I don't need another copy of that. I just purchased one...

I have a Cal. tape for 1" machine. It is for 15 ips. It is sticky, and would probably be OK if baked. I'm wondering is this of any value? I know these aren't cheap. But I also know, these are not used that often. Thanks

I'm hoping to get some advice from some of you. I had a Mint Teac X2000R R/R I bought this deck in 2002 thinking I would use it for my analog studio I was putting together at home. My needs went in another direction in the form of a 1/4 half track. Anyway, point is.. I never really used this...

I need some help identifying some cables that came with my Tascam MS-16. I suspect some are for synchronizers but what ones? One appears, to even have a Fostex type connector! A couple others are probably for remotely locating the DBX units? See... Picture #7. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9

OK, hoping to get your interest. I managed to break the hood surrounding the Function Remote D-sub 37. I looked up the part in tascam parts diagram. It is only listed as an assy.That includes the cable. I ordered a Hood on line, and then discovered the supplied screws that connect the D-sub...

I've posted about this problem previous. Actually the post started one way and quickly went another.:facepalm: Seems most of my post do that!:) Anyway, I got sick over the Holidays so I lost contact. Recap; I've discovered my ATR60-16 will not erase any tracks. It does Record all tracks. All...

Hello all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know, I did. I finally got the ATR60 tracking problem sorted out. Turned out to be a combination of Reel height, and Tension Roller height problems.. So it's off to the Electronics Calibration...screech!..stop. Now, I'm confused. I want to...

Hello, I've been searching this forum to find about rotating worn tape lifters on these machines. No luck. I came across threads mentioning it on these models, but nothing describing it. As I study the parts exploded view it seems the lifters are attached to the base solidly. Has anyone here...

I want to get a hand held multimeter for checking signal levels on my various equipment. I get lost on ebay. there are so many models. And most don't list the specs. Rather than just throw (more) money at it, I'd like to hear what some of you use and why. I don't have enough knowledge to really...

Hello. been awhile since I've posted but...I've been around. Today I was checking the levels on the board. I engaged the on board oscillator set it to 1K And started sliding the PGM busses to set the VU meters at 0VU (nominal +4). All except buss 3 are close to the 0 mark on the fader scale. But...

I have been trying to research the different models of the 50 series R/R's. I've seen two different models of the 52. One has the input and output settings on the face. The other does not. And then it seems I've seen two different 58's. One has the finger debit on the tape guide (for edits) the...

I'm looking for a duel recording double well, CD recorder. I use to use one, at a church I did sound for occasionally. It was great because I could record the praise and worship on one side and then hit the change button on the other well, and record the sermon. Thereby recording the whole...

I have a Tascam MS-16. I have seen several on ebay priced anywhere from $900 to $3000. But not selling! I have been offered one in (VERY) good condition for $1000. It would include the DBX units and meter panel with manual. Good Deal?

Hello, I've been occupied with calibrating my MS-16. So I put the console on the back burner. Now I'm ready to start troubleshooting a problem with the master section. Basically, I don't get audio out of the right channel through the tape returns or channel inputs. I bought a spare console for...
