I'm finally getting to play with the Tascam 38 I bought over 2 years ago, the let sit...long story...wife...kids...no time...sigh...but I digress.
I've just hooked it up and it's having a few "issues". Hoping someone can at least get me pointed in the right direction. Main problem is that channels 1,3,5,7 all record and play back fine, VU's work fine. Channels 2,4,6,8 nada, no VU, no record, no play back. Channel cards? I've seen that sometimes they need to be reseated, but why only the even numbers? Does that "mean" something to anyone out there who may know? I had it shipped to me originally and had to adjust the hubs to prevent the reels from catching the screws on the front. Will the repair/user manual allow me to fix a bad card and address most of the common issues I'm likely going to encounter? I'm an EE, and former technician, so I can read a schematic and handle a solder iron. Thanks in advance!
