Well, i just happen to have a TASCAM factory repair center near my home so I dropped the 22-2 off there. I figure the cost of repair would be fine considering i got the unit for free plus theyll properly calibrate it...etc.
Hi all, I thought I'd chime in here and say that I just bought the Pioneer rt-701 off the guy last night. It seems like it's in great condition and he threw in 7 tapes, operation manual and some cleaning solution. I mentioned to him that I new the whole story on the defective tascam Off course he was blown away but he really did feel bad that it wasn't working. As for my new (old) purchase I'm pretty psyched. I have a whole army of analog gear but never owned a reel to reel. I have been doing all of my recording inside my DAW for quite some time. I'm currently putting together a reggae/Dub production library and I thought I might as well record some vintage space echo feedback and spring reverb samples onto tape to include in the set. My budget for the reel for $150 and that's exactly what I got it for. I'm not looking forward to the cleaning and calibrating part of owning a reel but it may actually be some welcomed relief after staring at my LCD all day. Do you think I picked a good deck to use for my sampling needs? Any words of advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
