Es-60/61
Hello and thanks for responding. I have since found what I was looking for and have a few setups that include a couple ES-50s/51s and an ES-60 with IF-60M. I don't really need, but could probably use the ES-61 controller. I assume they are the items currently on ebay and I will place an offer in a couple days. On a side note, there are a couple configurations where the above units are able to slave to ProTools (or Nuendo, Logic etc.) and the older Tascam 40-4, 32, 34, 34B, 38 can't be used as slaves. These syncronizers were made to work with the higher end machines like the 42, 42B, 44, 48, 52, 54, 58, 388, BR-20, MS-16, TSR, MSR, ATR and MTR series. They also work with some Sony, JVC and Panasonic VTRs for certain uses. The problem is that there were many types of Accessory 1 connectors used on the different tape machine models and even the ES-50 and ES-60 use different types of Accessory 1 connectors on their rear panels. The result is that many different types of cables were used, and they are now very hard to find. Most users have to make their own, and it's not a straightforward pin to pin cable build. There are some cable-makers that will make any type if given the right specs, though.
