I recently aquired a tascam 464 cassette 4track from a friend and have a problem that I don't know if it is solveable (or easy to solve). Basically it seems that track 4 is dead. Tracks 1-3 work great and signal shows up as going to track 4 but I get no playback on that track when I put it in tape playback mode. Just wondering what might be wrong with it and if there is anyway to fix this problem or get around it to monitor/use trk 4?
Thanks....

I have a 464 and I had that same problem. For me it was a wire that had come loose on the record/play head. It was easy to have fixed. Hope this helps.

Re: Problem with Tascam 464.....non-functioning track
there's a switch on the back ... a little black switch... dang, i'm at work, can't remember what it's called... Not the dbx switch, but the other one that looks just like it... anyhow, it's for using the thing with midi or some such thing, but it has to be off, or else one of yer tracks won't work.
good luck.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that switch. It's labeled SYNC and it does knock out track 4 if it is on.

woah, i have a 464 and this problem. i tried many times to have it serviced and the guy never fixed the problem cause it was intermittent. i wonder if it was just the switch this whole time...

I put a piece of duct tape over the switch on mine so i cant accidently turn it off.
