Korg made an 8 track recorder?

I recently saw a Tascam 246 PortaStudio listed locally for $900. I LOL'd. Granted, it was supposedly in 100% working refurbished order. People are really paying that much for limited format (cassette) tape width? They must be, since I see these machines priced as such. I'll take protools 6 and a Di...

I've had mine so long the windshield rotted.

Check out Brothers Nylon or The Bakery Studio on Youtube. A lot of their stuff was tracked on 388s

New sockets in place ready for soldering

Replacement Molex sockets arrived today. Look like a perfect match for the ones already on the board.

Miscalculated LED diameters. Had to order smaller ones. Oops.

And... I'm finally caught up.

My new acquisitions over the past two years includes a dual channel phantom power supply unit, an active D.I. and a Behringer ultrapatch pro. Oh, and lots and lots of cables.

Cant remember if I'd bought my rack last time I posted here.

I couldn't find any schematics with dimensions. If you can, post a link below. Cheers

Ordered five plus a pack of red LEDs from RS Components (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-sockets/2965072). If they're not the right part they're cheap enough that it doesn't really hurt my bank balance.

This? https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/pa ... l/22152026

I need five. A guy I know might actually have some lying around. And I'm really surprised it's not a generic part.

I guess being plastic and small they wouldn't cost much to post.

It's the monitor PCB. And your guess is as good as mine

As anyone who's ever opened up a 388 will know the track arm indicators LEDs (amongst others) are held in place by white things that clip to the PCB. I need to replace several of mine but I've no idea what to look for. Does anyone know? If they're not commercially available could I get some 3D print...

Yes, Calum of the youtube channel Tetrakan did say that I'd be better off with an oscilloscope.

I'm trying to measure the voltages on the rec/play cards in my 388. I want to know why it's playing back but not recording or erasing.

Or electronics in general.

I need to measure the AC of a circuit at 100 KHz but I don't know if there are any multimeters in my budget range (up to £200) that are capable of doing this.
