I've got some NOS Reel to Reel tape I am willing to sell: These are sealed, bought new by me yeas ago: 2 7" Reels Maxell XLI 35-90B $22 each 3 7" Reels Maxell UD 35-90 $20 each 3 7" Reels Scotch 207 $22 each Let me know if you are interested; shipping shouldn't be too bad inside the US. AK

Ok, so I have had this deck for a few years now, and got it calibrated pretty well; everything works except for a lamp out on the right meter. One thing that is off is that there is just the slightest hint of a wobble on the left spindle - you can't hear anything off but it bugs me. Am I correct...

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/ele/1749802714.html Looks like something that could be worthwhile.... I just don't have the room or the cash to do anything about it.

If anyone need any PR99 parts - or a couple of decks for a project for that matter - let me know. All I want is whatever the shipping costs me; the decks were free to me originally, one did work but *ahem* I managed to fix that. Motors are good, head stacks are good, plus a variety of other...

For the record gang, I am still breathing..... just been so damned busy I haven't touched tape in several months. AK

One of the neatest things I have seen on these forums is people posting their recordings for everyone to hear. One of the lamest things, in my not so humble opinion, is that they are almost ALWAYS in mp3 format. MP3 sucks - it compresses and destroys the low frequency signal, and distorts the...

Friend of mine just gave me one of these units, but there seems to be a problem. WHen plugge dinto a mixer or anything else, there is lots of horrid noise along with the selected effect. Does anyone have any experience with these units and is this a common issue? I have nothing invested in this...

Nifty mp3 player/headphone amp with effects, lets you loop parts of a track, slow down/speed up without changing pitch as well as a cancellation feature to remove most or all of a guitar track. More info on the unit here: Tascam MP-GT1 I'm asking $100 including shipping. US Residents 48...

My trusty (and very high mileage) Pioneer RT-707 has begun to act up badly, and while I am fortunate enough to have a spare, I would like to have this unit working as well. The symptoms are slow playback in the forward direction (the unit is 1/4" 1/4 track with auto-reverse) and most annoyingly...

I had forgotten to post this - my dad finally came to his senses (ok my mom told him to get rid of this stuff) and gave me his old 1970s era stereo gear. Quick list: Marantz 2385 Stereo Receiver (185 watts of speaker-melting goodness) Cerwin Vega SE300 Speakers Infinity ES-200 Speakers (I...

Vintage 4-track Pioneer ATR Would love to have it just for my collection :D AK

Looking for a TEAC TO-122A Test Tone Generator or a Fostex TT-15 - or any similar tone generator. PM me. AK

I did it! I found the damned trouble with Channel 4 on my MX-5050 QHXD. If you missed the earlier story, I was lucky enough to get some free analog decks a while back, including this Otari 1/4" 4-track. The only bust was when I got it home, channel 4 would record but was distorted and cut in and...

This might be a great deal for someone - I simply don't need this much tape at the moment, but the UD35 is great tape, even old. http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-10-Maxell-UD-35-180-Pro-W-Tape-10-Metal-Reels-A_W0QQitemZ380045114041QQihZ025QQcategoryZ15000QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

SO the other day I decided to have another crack at the Otari MX-5050 QXHD. I discovered that the head stack comes off as a single unit, so I removed it and clened the contacts on the socket connector. Success! All tracks record and play, tho the deck is badly in need of calibration. Fortunately...

In with the manual and other paperwork for my TASCAM 42B, there is a reference booklet that does a REALLY good job of explaining Decibels and operating levels etc. This is a generic document that covers the basics, not a product specific one, and as far as I know it was freely availble...

Just curious; I've been bitten by the Ampex sticky shed bug and am going to try some RMGI SM911 and SM468, but was wonderign if anyone had experience with ATR? I am looking to purchase from US Recording, but if anyone has any other vebdors I will surely look! AK

Ok, it has been 25 years since I calibrated a tape deck - and I am rusty! Here's the thing: Following the instructions in the manual I have properly calibrated the input level, the meters and the playback level. All is golden right? For some reason the record level is VERY low - and I am...

Ok I went to look at that large pile of recorders; and brought 4 home. First I passed on the Revox A77s... they were all nonfunctional. If anyone wants/needs them for parts PLEASE let me know, I would gladly send them on for the cost of the shipping. I did grab the two Studer-Revox PR99s - I...
