Hey gathernogloss, I own Recursive Delete, and though I'm in Oregon, I'm connected to other technicians around the country and would be glad to help you make a connection if you decide to have the machine repaired. If you're interested in this possibility, fill out my intake form so I can get the de...

It looks like your Audient interface is a self-contained preamp / audio interface, am I correct? In that case, I'm not sure how you'd put an attenuator in the signal path. If you were running signal through an analog preamp and then into the Audient, you could put an attenuator between them, somethi...

There's Audio Archiving Services, who are based in Hollywood: https://www.audioarchivingservices.com/ I don't have any direct experience working with them, but I follow them on Instagram and they seem to be real pros, with a resume of work to match. They have equipment for pretty much any format you...

As I'd generally just use one track, could I effectively turn this into a 1/4' 2 track machine by panning channel 1 centre, and engaging all the assign and record buttons? Ditto what markjazzbassist wrote - if you only want to record to one or two tracks, the 388 is overkill. The condition of these...

You are my backup plan if I can’t get this working myself since we are both in the Portland area!

Small world! Best of luck with the repair, and if I can be of help, let me know.

For anyone in the future reading this, I work on 4-track machines and would be glad to sell you the appropriately-sized belts for the MT8X (or any other machine you might be working on). I'm also interested in acquiring anyone's bad/dead capstan motors, as I may be able to repair them, provided they...

My Fostex might be one of the last made . . early 2000s I think.

Your Fostex X-24? The service manual for that model is dated 1998. Did you buy it new in the early 2000s?

i believe the last model made was the tascam 414mkIII. they were still being sold in the Aughts.

My guess is that the Tascam MF-P01 was the last one released; it was announced in January 2002. The date on the service manual for the 424mkIII was May 1999.

Great thread! I run a repair business in Portland, Oregon called Recursive Delete Audio/Visual, and my specific focus is repairing / refurbishing / reselling cassette-based multitrack machines, mainly supporting 4-track users in the Pacific Northwest. If anybody sees this thread and needs a machine ...

Carl,

I'm based in Portland, OR and I work on music equipment. I focus mainly on multitrack cassette machines, but I collaborate with a friend on many projects and I bet your Yamaha Rev 7 would be right in his area of expertise. Drop me a DM and I'll get you my contact info!

Just sent you a DM!

Bump! I just posted one of my PM8 MK II's on eBay and I would LOVE to sell it to someone here for $150-ish cheaper and cut out the unneccessary middleman. -Jack

I'm selling a pair of Black Lion PM8 MKII summing mixers. I used these in my smoke-free home studio for a year and a half. Only selling now because I'm making some changes in my signal chain. The serial numbers on these units are #10 and #40. I've got the user manuals and for at least one of them, t...

I have a 2-channel UA 1176LN with original box and paperwork. I'd like to trade it straight across for your API 3124+. Let me know if you're interested!
