A question for anyone who actually owns or has experience with a TSR-8: Is it normal for there to be a short delay when punching in where signal is just erased for a moment without anything being recorded? This makes sense if the erase and record heads kick in at the same time, since the tape has to move between them before anything new will get recorded, but it didn't ever happen with my 38- I assume there was some sort of compensatory erase head delay- and it makes tight punch-ins impossible sometimes.
On another note, I'm almost finished recording a 20 minute EP done entirely on 1/2" 8-track, and will be posting some mp3s here when it's ready.
Peace,
Theo
