That is unless you own a teac test tape specific for your machine. I am having a nightmare trying to get a test tape with a 400hz tone on it. This is the frequency at which the playback eq does not effect the playback level. if you can't get a tape with this frequency on it you are screw when...

OK, I have a power supply that is putting out 39V DC. I need it to put out 21V DC. What's the easiest way of achieving this? Is it that simple, or is there more to it than that? It would be best if the voltage was variable by 5V or so. Any ideas?

Hi guys, I've just laid my hands on a tascam 122mkii tape cassette recorder and it's in prety good condition. Unfortunately it has issues when playing and FF. The tape seems to get "stuck", as in the tape doesn't play at a constant speed and when FFing it gets stuck and wont FF any firther (like...

Just curious but...

I've worked out a way to set the bias traps. the reason the multimeter shows no change when adjusting the traps is because the MM is not read small enough amouts of voltage. so if you rig up a the MM probes to the input of a level meter (on your pc or whatever) it will show a level that you can...

The title says it all... Specifically, Im after a service manual for a mark 5 M any help would be great Cheers

is there anybody out there who knows a way of syncing an Itam 806 which is basically a revox a77 to another machine? I guess the transport would need to be modified. Any ideas I'm syncng to a mini-8 by the way, but that doesn't really matter... does it?

Hi, I Recently got hold of a Teac 3340 4-track but the problem is that the pinch roller will not lift. After firther investigation I have discovered that the solenoid is not reacting when it should. I figure the solenoid is knacked but I'm not sure yet as I have not had a chance to swop it out...

Has anyone ever heard of a fender start being made in the UK? I remember when I first started playing the bass when I was 17ish a friend I knew briefly told me that his dad owned a very rare British made fender strat. I played on it so I know the guitar itself existed but I was new to playing...

Hi kids, Most of the gear I record with is british made (itam 8 track, brenell mini 8, brenell 2track, zoot horn mixer), so I thought it would be cool to find a bunch of british mics and other outboard gear. I'm thinking I'll need A vocal mic, kick, sm57 type dynamics and overheads. Anybody...

Hi all, I have a Revox B77 that is struggling to FF. This doesn't seem to happen straight off the bat, but after the machine has been on for a while. Firther investigation has revieled that insead of going into FF mode, it goes into play mode but without the pinch roller being engaged. To...

This is, in my opinion, the sexyest looking 1/2" 8 track in the world ever. It is an ITAM 806 circa 1980 made in London. I have an ITAM 805 which I still havn't fixed yet, which I thought was the sexyest looking 8-track but this one looks even better, and it works. I will be picking it up...

Hi Kids, Is there anybody out there in the who can fix my Itam 805 8-track. The main problem seems to be the power supply, and there is also a small problem with the playback transport. I have fiddled and fiddled with this bloody machine for months but due to my lack of electrical engineering...

Hi, I have managed to get hold of a bunch of brand new 1 inch VIDEO reels. Does anyone know the difference between audio and video tape coz I have a 1" 8 track and was wondering if it was possible to record on the tape without damaging the machine. If not, does anyone know anybody who would...
