So I ending up buying a Tascam 34B as my first analog unit.
But.. Well,
I went over to the seller's house first and got him to demo it for me....
The machine worked well and was in great cosmetic condition.
It sounded fucking awesome.
Except..... there was a squeaking coming from the machine. He told me that it was most likely a roller... and upon further inspection I decided he was probably right.
I sat there and thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that it probably isn't that big of a deal and could be easily fixed.
I went out on a limb and as I wrote before, I purchased it.
So now I have a couple of questions...
Is this going to be a big problem?
or
Will I be able to take it into a shop and get it fixed (or even fix it myself)?
Lastly:
I have already recorded with it to try it out and am totally blown away by the quality.
Should I stop using it before I get it fixed? I'm worried that if it is a problem that can be fixed, if I keep using it while it is squeaking that it will somehow put unnecessary strain on other parts of the machine.
Oh, and the squeaking comes and goes.
