Does anyone have one they can sell or share?

Operational and or service...

Thanks,
-Barrett
 
I'll keep my eyes out for the remote as I'm sure others will as well...oooooo...RC-424...not too common. :(

On the manual, have you contacted Teac Parts (323) 727-4840? They likely have reprints which will be complete, clear, and cheaper than originals or the risky pdf or reprint on eBay (don't do it). For example, I just bought the reprint of the complete Operations/Service manual for the 388 from Teac...170 pages with foldout schematics for $23.00. :eek::cool:

Well worth it.
 
I have a MSR16S with manual which is similar to the MSR24, the manual is very detailed with circuit diagrams / circuit board artwork, maintenance set up details and operation instructions. There are lots of pages, which is why it would be hard for someone to pdf, and if you can get one from Tascam it is well worth it.

Cheers

Alan.

This is al VERY useful info. Althought I would expect nothing less from you sweetbeats! I'll have to give Teac a call tomorrow to hunt down the manual, maybe they'll know something about the remote too....

Thanks,
-Barrett
 
Teac has the Manuals for 60 bucks and I'll probably have to end up getting them from there. As for the remote... I can't find it anywhere. A google search doesn't even turn up any info on the remote.

Thanks for all the help so far,
-Barrett
 
Wow...$60...is that for a reprint? I paid $54 for my Tascam 58 manual from them but it was an original print in the binder...worth every penny IMO.

I didn't think they'd be able to help you on the remote. They are rare and $$$...just be patient though...one will turn up eventually. Just keep watch.
 
Yeah, I'm gonna go for the manual, It's service and operational. Very neccessary. Thanks so much for all of the help sweetbeats, you've literally been there for me for all of my analog inquiries.

Sincerely,
-Barrett

I called back today and they said that it's only 38 bucks! So I nabbed it right away, it should be here tomorrow.

Thanks,

don't mean to jack the thread, but...

I may buy one of these very soon (and will therefore, also be making that call to TEAC;))...

It's going for $1000 CAD, which seems around par / slightly below, considering it comes with the remote and 3 reels.
I made sure it was DBX rather than Dolby S as per another thread I saw, regarding the NR inevitably faulting in Dolby units.

Does anyone have further recommendations about potential issues I should look out for with this thing?
I think I've heard that these are 2-head units, which is a bit of a downer for calibration, and head life.

I also considered picking up a 38 I found listed for $400 with 4 reels and the DBX units.
I already have a 38 that need some parts, maybe I should stick with the better tape real estate vs. track options... feel free to expound on this one a little, if you've got an opinion.
 
That's a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ but I guess if you need it you will pay. You might try junkbay

You bastard! I can't find the remote anywhere! I've never used an analog multitrack and I got it hooked up and running at full capacity in under 45 minutes. Real straight forward, very smooth. Have fun with yours AND YOUR REMOTE!!!

-Barrett
 
Yeah, it's crazy money for sure.

The only one I found on ebay went for nine-something US, with no remote/tapes/etc. so I don't really feel like we're getting fleeced...but handing over that much cash for anything is tough.

My friend and I (splitting the cost) went to see it today and it appears to be in excellent shape. Tape path is very clean, and the unit is built like a tank.
It's in a nice rack mount custom wooden box, and the guy also has the 24 ch snake, and the manual, so the deal seems to be getting sweeter all the time.

Hopefully we can find a calibration tape somewhere in town to try it out soon.

The head. Last I saw, replacements were £1500 (plus tax). I don't think you can even get them anymore, and comparatively few were made anyway. The '38 may not be in the same class, but the heads are far easier to get.
 
Tascam MSR24 to sell with midiizer /remote/etc

i have a Tascam MSR24 to sell complete with midiizer /remote/ 1 tape/ foot pedal thingy/ and all instruction manuals,

bought it last year, it came out of a TV Studio that hardly ever used it.
plugged it all in to see if it worked, which it did, then have never used it!
I need to get rid of this cause i've run out of room in my studio and i'm upgrading to digital (smaller) set up.

reluctant sale as i'd luv to hang onto it, just can fit it in anymore, and want to see it going to a good home, someone make me an offer...
or can you let me know how much its worth??

some pic are on our website on the audio page.

I am working on a tour at the moment, and only dropping past the studio, I will grab the page a scan it as soon as I can get there, anyone else have it out there?

Alan.
 
Sorry I checked and I don't. Wondered if it might be the same assembly as installed in the MSR-16 but my copy of that manual is SO bad I can't even check to see if there is a compatibility reference to the MSR-24.
 
Dear Alan,
I am highly pleasant amazed of your quick friendly offer, I"ll wait with patience,
many thanks, also I try to find here, I"ll inform you,
Lech.
