Passed away from a heart attack this morning,aged 65 years. Funniest man that ever lived.

I bought a tape from ebay just the other day. It is on a small reel,and the reel has small holes in it. No way is this thing going to mount up on my Otari 1/4" deck with the NAB hubs. What are my options? I'm assuming I could take the NAB adapters off,and the little reel would mount then.But I...

R.I.P.,man. RUMBLE!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051121/ap_en_mu/obit_wray

...and jacked their prices up into the stratosphere!! Glad I got some new tape while it was still cheap.

Anybody need any? I've got some,just let me know.

I've usually gone straight into my Roland VS-2480,and applied the appropriate effect patch. But now I'm experimenting with recording everything to tape first-so I got my Fender amp fixed. What I'm hearing now is rattles and vibrations from all over the place,even with the volume fairly low.Hit a...

Well,I got it back from the shop today. The ebay seller was a local,which had a lot to do with why I made the deal.Although he did advertise it to be in good working order. It wasn't,though. The shop had to go inside the unit,and set the reel tables up in the correct spots so the reels won't...

I've located a remote control unit for my Otari,and now have it in my possession. No cable,though. How would I go about building a proper cable? Are the attachment heads some sort of standard configuration,that has a name?Where would I find them and some proper cable-computer store? Or is there...

Anyone know how to do this? I don't have a manual.

If so,I know a good source.

Finally got around to messing with a 38 I picked up recently. The thing I noticed immediately was that when I put reels on the machine,and locked them down with the hubs,the reels scrape on the top panel hold-down screws. What could this be? The screw heads don't flush-mount.Should they? Any...

Which model of dbx unit is supposed to work with a Tascam 38? Thanks.

The head is a silverface,from the CBS ownership era. I'm pretty sure one of the transformers burned up a couple of years ago.It's been out of commission since then. Planning on having it repaired soon. Will it be difficult to find parts that will work on this thing,such as a new transformer...

Haven't had much time to mess with this thing,and it is probably just my ignorance-but here goes: I've tried recording onto a track two times,with no luck yet. 1.First try was with an SM-58,directly in.Just barely had the indicator move on the VU meter,and didn't hear anything on playback after...

Assembled them to the pancake of 256,and noticed that there was a bigger gap between flanges in one spot.Hmm... Saw that the tape isn't actually installed onto the hub very carefully.It is as if the winding machine at the factory has a flat surface like a flange,that the hub is attached to while...

Here is the page at US Recording that shows the different tapes. http://store.yahoo.com/usrecordingmedia-store/ancaltap1.html I'll be using 456 mostly,and also have some 499 and GP9.Recorder is an 8 track,1/2" Otari. Thanks.

Anyone know what happened?

I'm very close to getting started on a garage remodeling project.For the short-term,I plan on using 200 sq. ft. of my garage as a recording studio.I can handle all the construction work with no problem,but need some advice on what will work best for my gear. Haven't been messing with recording...

I'm going to need to get a few things for when I start using my 8-track Otari. Are there any specific cleaning agents,deguasser,demagnetizer,etc.,that I should get? How about the stuff available at US Recording Media-any suggestions? Any help appreciated.

...on a reel of Quantegy tape? Thanks.
