What reel would you recommend for a a budget of $1500.
@5thcomm
@5thcomm Күн бұрын
@MrPONCHO467 You'll have a number of options at that price point. Look for a fully operational Akai GX- 635D or 636. Akai GX 630D for around $1K. Pioneer RT 1011L or 1020L around $1k. TEAC 3300 series for at or under 1K. If you're anywhere near Charlotte NC, you can come demo a few units to give you an idea about their performance. No obligation whatsoever

@@5thcomm would you say they’re good enough to record an album with? I’m wanting to record through it rather than onto it, if that makes sense? That’s why I’m looking for one with 3 heads, so I can record into the daw at the same time I’m recording to the tape.

Hey Big Matt, I have the Teac X-200R with this problem, very slow ffwd & rwd. Addendum: my incorrect comment about testing was just that, incorrect, thus deleted. Thank you Big Matt. You're a very fine man, and you've helped resolve my problem and get my machine running properly. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I bought an RT 707 a couple of years ago on Ebay as not working. I went through it and got it running without having to buy anything but a belt. I thought I was going to have to replace the three .1 Microfarad caps that are on the Speed control board, because it would start playing real fast for no reason. I would have to switch the direction of play back and forth a few times to make it play normal. But within a few minutes it would do the same thing. Turns out the contacts in the magnetic switch on the speed control board had corrosion on them. I removed the plastic cover, sprayed them with Deoxit. Problem solved. If you don't mind tinkering, these RT-707's are pretty easy to work on.

Hey bruder Bigg Matt , I hope you're okay. I hope you can help me, when you apply 1Khz at -10Db, 0.3V as the manual says to calibrate the input and meters, what type of wave should it be? Sine or Square? Try it from a PC generator and it shoots red! I measured the voltage and it was very high and with a small generator I set it to 1khz, 0.3V but there the meters read -10DB and the resistance won't let me go any higher, it reaches the top when I turn it and it barely goes up one more LED. I'm doing it and just as the manual says. But I don't know if it's because of the type of wave? Vielen Dank! 🙂
