Hello all. Just found this site after pounding the internet for a few hours. Hope someone can help.
I am the original owner of a Tascam 388. Recently, we sold our home and moved to another. I personally moved the 388 with help to the new place. For about 3 months it sat in a closet while an attic was being finished out for my music room. I just placed it in the room, fired it up and noticed the left stereo vu meter rose and stuck straight up. The right one was fine. When powering down, they both fall properly.
So, I decided to playback an old song and noticed when panning tracks to the left, the sound goes away. Pan them back towards the right, and there's sound. I've tapped the meter, pushed buttons, and still no luck.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm hoping there's a simple solution to this. I'm not very mechanical, but I'll sure try some things if it will help.
Thanks!
