Hi all. Glad to have found this cool forum.
I am a reel-to-reel tape enthusiast, and I recently purchased a never used, NOS UHER Report Monitor 4000 portable tape deck.
It is fantastic, works very well & sounds great. Was manufactured in 1996.
Bought from SDS in Germany. Not too expensive, cheaper than a Nagra anyway !
Here are some pics of it attached.

Hi! I pulled this nice set of VU meters from a old nakamichi tape deck. The deck powered up but I think the belt was shot. Any way I was going to build another set of VU's for a mate. I was stoked that I only had to unscrew two screws and the whole VU module popped out. I hooked up some power and the lamps fired up! Good start! I tried to get some 1kh test tone signal in from my 02R in to it.

A friend of mine called me yesterday... he had been helping a friend of his clean out the house of the friend's father who recently passed.

He had called to ask me if I wanted an old R t R tape recorder that they found in a closet. I told him that I absolutely did, that I'd love to see what he had.

Hello,

probably a stupid question but thought i would ask before i ruined something, but do i remove the cards from a Tascam tsr 8 by simply unscrewing the bottom plate and pulling them out? (with reasonable force?)

it's not in the users manual.

thanks

This may sound totally noob/stupid, but... I just got an old Sony TC-252 1/4" Reel To Reel. And I have no idea what to do with it. I mean... I've had -many- tape machines over the years... just not in the past 20 or so. I figured, if nothing else I could make little echo loops with it like when I was 16 or so... or make some nutty distortion with it.

Well, the 'Simul-Sync' feature on my Teac A-2340 isn't working anymore. It was a good deck for home recording, but I think I'm ready to graduate to a nicer 4-track, as it's now just the same as any other 4 track ( only 1239403429 pounds heavier :roll:)

For a 2" deck man have the prices come down alot.. :D

Any size shape or number of tracks.

Do you use it at all?

If so, what is it its function in your studio and why?

If no tape machine, do you use digital emulation of any sort to achieve that analog compression?

Hello!

Ill be getting a console made by on the argosy D15 workstations, with an angled 8U space on both sides.

Is it ok to mount a Tape deck/Cd player (Tascam CDA500) in this rack ? Or should have one side modifies to a vertical rack 3U space ?

Thanks a ton!
