Hi there,
first I want to say hello, it's my first time here!
I'm from Germany and I love analog recording. So I bought one of these 4-track maschines on ebay: a Tascam 424 MKI.
Great maschine, but the only problem is, it doesn't work...
The problem is, if you push Start, FFWD, RWD or Record it starts playing, recording,... for only 3-4 seconds and then it stops. The record- and playback-function works great (you can record and play-back music). I found some other threads on the internet about the same problem, but without a solution.
So I'm asking you guys if you know a solution for this or maybe got a little hint where the source of the problem could be (mechanical or electronical)?
I think it has something to do with the end-of-tape recognition, but I don't know how it works on this maschine?
PS: If you need pictures or videos, thats no problem, just tell me!
