Well, I've had a busy month with some family stuff I had to take care of, and unfortunately I haven't had the time to dig into this. But I'm ready to dig into this now that I have some extra time. I am waiting on an adapter to do the tone stacks. Hopefully that will arrive tomorrow. But I was...

Thanks for you patience and for walking me through this. The tech did a full set up. He actually put on new record and playback heads and calibrated and adjusted everything. I'm using the same scotch 207 tape that he used. So the machine is in top shape. This might be the real issue. I know the...

Thanks so much for the detailed response. The process is starting to come into focus now. I was hoping that a bias adjustment would be a stand alone process. But from what I gather now it is something that needs to be dialed in along with hf eq and level. I was really hoping that I could just...

Hi all, I have a question about record bias. I have tried reading about it and I guess I’m having a bit of a hard time grasping how it’s adjusted. Please bear in mind I’m new to all of this. From what I’ve read and understand, record bias on a tape deck is not an exact thing? It seems like...

Hello all, My 388 just started a new issue where the right channel is not producing sound. I've searched here and other places, and it seems like this has been an issue for others but I haven't found any solutions. What is happening: The right channel is not producing sound across the board...

No, I need one for the tension arm assembly screw and one for the tension arm roller. I think I've made this confusing because I was bringing things up as I found them. I've included another couple pictures. The one picture shows where the tension arm assembly screw goes. In the second picture...

That makes complete sense about the string's function. The string itself is actually fully intact except it snapped where the loop is. I'll have to get creative and try to come up with a replacement. Maybe use some picture wire. I just wonder who much give is needed. Maybe I could buy string and...

Just to be sure we are talking about the same washer, the one in questions belongs to the screw that holds the whole tension arm assembly to the base of the machine. I think you may be referring to the washers that are on the actual tension roller itself? If so, it is still helpful because I've...

Hi all, I recently purchased a Tascam 22-2 and I am having a few issues with it. I'm hoping to get a little insight. First off, I'll mention that I don't have the manual for this machine. It didn't come with one and I've been unsuccessful at find a copy or even a PDF online anywhere. The first...

Hi all, I've owned a Tuscan 388 for a while. It is still fully functional, but I want to take the leap into adjusting and calibrating the machine. I'm going to start acquiring the necessary items, but had a few questions first. Quick note, I'm pretty new to this so I'll be learning as I go...
