Congrats on getting things back up and running! I got to looking and there's a vendor in town that carries 703. Can I ask what material you covered yours with? Just curious, what Otari are you using? Thanks!

hey thanks. You have a 703 vendor in your TOWN!? Lucky!! I just covered mine with old bedsheets...... :rolleyes: They are very thin and breathable, so you know that in keeps in the fiberglass and lets in the sound so it simply doesn't reflect off the sheets.

I'm using an Otari mx5050 MKIII 8 track 1/2". Got it for 100 bucks! It needed a little work but it's working great again, unlike yesterday......It sounds magnificent though. As long as it's calibrated and you use an external pre it sounds great.
 
At least I think so. One of the previous threads mentioned a chain...I looked on their website and they've got a location here (I live inthe South). When I start to "build" I'm going to look into these. I was thinking we (at the station I'm at) had some otari's in the production room, but looks like they are Studers.
 
The technique is all lighting and using the macro option on the camera. This way you can get up and close and capture more detail. If you use a tripod you can set slower shutter speeds to capture more light in low light conditions and you set it on a timer so you don’t shake the camera and give you a blurry picture. But like he said its technique, Further proof that expensive equipment doesn’t make you a pro.

exactly, that's what I was thinking. I'll most likely regret it later.....

Whenever you start thinking crazy thoughts just do yourself a huge favor and take the recorder to a competent and authorized Otari service centre, oki ? ;) Tell them to do a full alignment, electronic and mechanical, both to factory spec. ;) There's just some things a technician, who has worked on these types of machines for years and perhaps decades can do better and faster. Trust me, it'll be money well spent. Hint: don't sell. ;)
