.. my current love is that Teisco del Rey hanging next to the P-bass. Got it way back in Junior High, gradual improvements (and sometimes regrettable experiments). Most recently had a proper adjustable bridge installed, and it's better than ever. I see, i think, about five 'mystery' holes in the vi...

Happy gear repatriation day Scott.
Nice light boxes and shelving and chunky wood desk! Did you make any of the furnishings Mr. Rennaissance man? I know you made that Helmke mic.
Must mention that cool "skinny" upright too.

You can store them in this.. https://reverb.com/item/30339828-cassette-tape-lunchbox https://messageboard.tapeop.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=604 ________________________________ At work we were going through old storage and throwing out a lot of old Imation data cartridges.

If we're going there, let's go all the way. Golden opportunity for TEAC to re-issue *these.
*note actual metal reels rather than plastic with air brushed "sheen" spots.

Here you go Scott, from the Tascam 238 manual. *Which gives it's tacit blessing of the 90 minute cassettes at the end.. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c48/shedshrine/IMG_9386.jpeg ..and soon David, Jack and Mike will chime in. et tu brute? :) Ha! I actually wasn't going to comment because so...

I stay away from 90 min tape. same here ..and soon David, Jack and Mike will chime in. et tu brute? :) Your replies gave me pause. I had to reflect a moment. Starting out with cassettes, when I had more time than money, it was much more about getting bang for the buck. a 90 gave you 33% more record...

I get it. 60 or shorter are recommended. 60 are thicker, the 90 has slightly thinner backing but the same magnetic layer thickness. If you use an old 90 that has been re recorded a bunch and used in cars and boom boxes, you are probably asking for heartache. As long as you're using reputable brand n...

While at the record store about a month back I was going through the new vinyl arrivals and working my way over to the dollar bin section. Next to it they had started a dollar a cassette bin. Among the beat up label issues stuff was a half dozen or so *old school gold and black Maxell XL II High Bia...

It has been my main vocal mic since. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c48/shedshrine/IMG_9294.jpeg https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c48/shedshrine/IMG_9301.jpeg https://hosting.photobucket.com/images...

How soon ATRAC cartridges?

I don't think minidisc player and recorder adoption every got big enough to enable that to happen, but bring it on! Keep the great editing, drop the copy protection, and make it 24 bit lossless.

Oooo, they've even got the mini take up reels. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c48/shedshrine/Tascam_424_cassette.JPG hopefully they sell out and make them full time. yes. and seriously consider putting another portastudio into production. i love mine. If a four track, then a 424 MKII layout ...
