Hello all. I am new to the board. I just got a Tascam reel to reel 38. All the functions work except when I playback what I just recorded I hear nothing. When the track is armed I see the VU meter working. I have read how to properly arm these machines from the manual(which is pretty straight forward). My question goes out to anybody that has owned this machine or had the same issue. I know this is a common problem since I have seen it pop up other spots on the web, but with no answer.
My questions are...
-Would the kind of tape matter? If so which tape would be good to use and which tape should I avoid.
-Could it be the heads need to be cleaned? If so how do I do that without damaging them.
Any help would mean the world!!!!! Thanks in advance.
