    Nostalgic about reel decks I sold

    32 34B A8LR Model 20 Model 80 I sold them at low dollar amounts before the big analog bubble, but only after refurbishing and calibrating each one over many man-hours of labor. The in-person demos were demonstrably tight. The buyers were very happy. It's not that I wished I'd charged more...

    Did we all see the new Tascam Model 24 (16) ?

    It looks highly functional, all-in-one, but for some reason they don't call it Portastudio. Probably just market positioning to keep in on the Pro side of things. Looks like a Portastudio to me! @@

    TEAC of America in Montebello, CA, is No More!

    I don't know if they closed operations or moved, but the last time I drove through LA, I wondered why I never saw the TEAC sign, which is at least 100ft up in the air, above the freeway. Next day I drove through again, and I noticed it said "EMPIRE Cleaning Supplies". The building had been...

    I have a brand new 388 R/P head.

    I hear about this mythical thing. Heard of but never seen. I'm the one in this magical land (LA) who has captured the Unicorn. I bought it many years ago from another user here, Wildflower Soul. It's in a box, somewhere with a bunch of other stuff.

    Nothing technical to add.

    Just stopping in for a minute to say hi to my friends and brothers (& occasional analog galpal).

    The 8-channel, 4-buss, Fostex cassette multitracker

    The Fostex 460. Rare & hardly seen. Not a bad looking unit, FWIW. I'll stop short of calling it a Portastudio, (Tascam trademark). :spank::eek:;)

    I Really Scored

    USED-TASCAM Teac Professional Division 788 Digital Portastudio $42 & change,... delivered! IIRC, the original (new) selling price was upward of $900! Digital seems to have a worse depreciation than analog, but that's another post. It came out of the box scratchless, like new, maybe never...

    I threw some Ramones Covers down to tape with a friend.

    Live-to-4 on Tascam 34 (15 ips analog tape) using Tascam M30 mixer, Roland TR-606 drum machine & Realistic mics. :spank::eek:;) Now I Wanna Be a Good Boy Go Mental Today Your Love Commando I Don't Want You We're a Happy Family Chain Saw Why is It Always This Way?

    Baked some tape; Sold some gear. ;)

    I recently bought a Tascam 38 "parts or repair", with remote, manual, tapes & take up reel. Turns out the "Edit" button was pressed and the 38 was not broken at all, although I did have to remove the bottom panel and press onto the audio cards to freshen up a few contacts. Got it for a song...

    Tascam D-15 "one of a kind"

    As it's written, apparently this is a small 1 channel mock up of the Model 15 mixer to demo the capability of the full size M-15 without the heavy lifting. A single mixer strip, master and monitor section. Go figure. :spank::eek:;)...

    M30 Mess Up; Need Advice.

    The M30 is one of my favorite little mixers. Great sound, a smart set of features, not fancy but easy to use & small footprint, belying it's actual weight ;) Anyway, I had 4 of these beauties and have sold 3 of them, leaving one disassembled with some known issues on 3 different boards. I...

    Would any DP-24 or DP-32 owners recommend the DP-32SD for $399?

    It's the stripped down 32 track model exclusively at MF that doesn't have a CDRW drive or MIDI. I'm not sure how much I need or would miss these features, and it's a pretty good price break over the Standard model. I'm not sure I'd be happy buying something with a reduced feature set, or...

    2488 Neo vs. DP-24 or DP-32

    I've read most of the posts on this forum. If you were to pop for new or used gear right now, would you get a used 2488 Neo, a new DP-24 or a new DP-32, and why? I already have my eye on something, but I want to know what other Tascam users here think. Thanks!

    238 Calibration

    I calibrated my 238 yesterday, presale. It generally turned out well. I spent pretty much all day on it, mostly because I'm a perfectionist & if something isn't spot-on I'll retrace my steps several times from the beginning until it's right. A couple things stand out to me:... The...
