I have 2 Fostex B16 machines in close to working order. One has transport issues, the other plays back ok but will not record anymore (someone on this board said bias oscillator is probably the issue). Also have 8090 remote control and 4050 autolocator and without going into the storage room, around...

I forgot the extras: 8090 remote control and 4050 autolocator module both for B16s.

I have 3 decks total, 2 B16s (1/2" 16 track 15ips) and 1 E8 (1/4" 8 track 15ips) All of them have issues. the 1st E8 has transport issues, has to be hand assisted to start up on fast forward, don't know if this is an easy fix? The 2nd B16 also has similar transport issues to the above. the 3rd B16 s...

does anyone want what is probably a complete run of issues from 2005 until now for free? pick up in Providence area, I could probably get someone to bring them to Boston as well if you want to pick them up at Armegeddon Shop Records up there.

Did no one answering about anywhere in Boston and RI areas (I'm in Providence) mean there is no one doing this kind of work now? I have 3 Fostex decks I think I want to have serviced before selling them. Unless someone wants to make me an offer on them

I have a couple of these machines that I used last in 2006. One had transport troubles the other "probably" has bias oscillator problems (according to a snap diagnosis from someone on these message boards). I then promptly lost my space to do recording (and by the looks of it and my interest level I...

I was hoping this was about getting a recording to sound like it is on AM radio (a request I got once)

not bad for $1

I know it's not tape being upside down as I played back the end of a session that was tails out and tried recording at the end of the tape (about 5 free min at end of reel) and was getting -100000db ghost recordings. I have to get this fixed, I had 4 bands over the weekend tell me they needed to rec...

whew took a while for me to get back to this. I recorded some sound today and I could very very faintly hear it on play back, so I dunno what this means ...

anyway it's a 2 head machine

I hadn't used my recorder in about a month. Today when I went to record I couldn't get anything to record to tape, I tried 3 reels. Playback from an old reel was still working, I was seeing signal on the meters when trying to record but there was just nothing on tape. I tried setting channels to rec...

saw an ad for it in no. 55, as one who only jumped on the train a year ago I'm psyched. Any idea on price? (ie what did vol I cost)

I have an Ibanez HD1000 and it honestly sounds like complete ass, is this one of the Ibanez units you mean?

wow so much info thanks everyone.

are there any low end delay effects that sound remarkably better than their bretheren for the price? i have one Behringer jobby I got for $50 that is close to being worthless for anything except "special effect" type use (ie making someone sound like a robot underwater)
