Sorry analog aaron, it was a mix up, a huge coincidence... and me starting to panic a little
"The build quality of a Fostex always differed from Tascam, with the latter being more tank-like and solid. Fostex, while I'll not bash outright and call them cheap (again!), but will tactfully say they pulled some ingenious ways of cutting corners to save cost, that helped them dominate the format because they sold at half the price of a 1/2" 38 and M30, and probably of any similar 7" Tascam, (by assumption)."
Damn right, trying to get into the guts of the R8 was a nightmare. To do the simplest of things the whole thing would have to be dismantled (then set up again). Fostex definatley found out how to plug ever gap of free space with their magical little gimicks. But... still in analog heaven lads
