I'm in Sydney Alan. Do you fix these machines ? Dan

hey Heatmiser, i own both a 644 & 688 and you do get a "fatter" sound from the 644 simply cause the tape heads are wider. Although in saying that the 688 is an amazing machine. Mine just started playing up which is a huge bummer. I voted for the 244 though as i just used one recently and the...

Gday railway surfer i live across the tasman in Australia and i recently found a bloke in Melbourne who sell chrome cassettes. It won't let me post the link but try www casstape . com . au he has all the goods ;-)

I posted this in another thread but i swear by the fostex 454 or fostex 450, they are so easy to use, they sound great. 8 direct in & 8 direct outs, 4 channel buss. great for 8 track recording. There's usually always one or two going on ebay between 200 & 400 bucks.

I have a Tascam 38 too & the best mixer you can get is the Fostex 454 or Fostex 450. It has 8 direct in 8 direct out and 4 channel buss which is great for grouping your drums to two tracks. I saw a 450 go on ebay a couple of days ago for 200 bucks! There's one on ebay right now for 350 bucks...

Hi everyone, needing some advice with my Tascam 688. During recording & playback the tape speed keeps slowing down & speeding up. I took it to a guy and he says i need a new motor ? Has anyone ever had this problem and is it worth fixing ? Dan

Hi ya Steve, well i think your right it is to do with the switches in the sym sync board. I took the cover off and sprayed the switches with just a contact cleaner i found in the garage and i got track 3 workin great! track four seems to be a little better but still the output is quite low after...

Cheers Steve, I will check those today. is "Deoxit" something that you can find at most electronic stores like radio shack etc ? excuse my ignorance but what is the pcb ? Thanks again!

I own a teac 3340s 4 track recorder. Problem is with recording on tracks 3 & 4 (right channel). They playback pre recorded tapes beautifully but when i go to record something new on those tracks playback is very muffled and the signal very low. I don't hear any noise when i'm recording and the...
