A few years ago, I found this MX-5050 mkiii 8-track for about $50. It blew fuses, and I brought it to be serviced, which took a long time due to parts and other things. Anyway, I went to pick it up today, and it's all aligned, calibrated, and biased. I also had some mods to the electronics done...

Today, I picked up this brand new Lexicon LXP-1. It's never been taken out of the box. The power supply is almost fused to the styrofoam. I didn't need it because I have a LARC but for $40 I had to buy it!

I like recording with amps over sims. I don't have a ton of amps in my studio, but my goal is always covering different toanz vs a bunch of the same things. I bring things from my storage in/out once in a while. For a long time I was looking for a way to organize them. For a while I thought...

I found this machine at the Salvation Army for $50 a few years ago, but I only recently had the time to get it going. I started on a Fostex X-26 in (IIRC) 1990 then moved to an R8 then a TSR-8. When I was at Berklee the Otari decks were everywhere, but I could never afford one. I'm really...

Earlier this year, I found this Tascam 6100 at a flea market for $100. I understand; it came from an estate sale and hasn't been used much. I hit the flea market every Sunday at 6 am and every season find some cool stuff. The machine was dirty, and the belts were shot. I changed some caps, put...

I ordered an AEA R84 last weekend and it arrived today. First impressions are very good. The build quality is top-notch and for what it does, which is fairly unique, it seems to excel. So far, I've tried it on vocals and acoustic guitars (an old Gibson, an old Martin, and a baritone Taylor)...
