Hi,great video! Is this 2 tracks in one direction and turn the tape over to get the other 2 tracks or is it 2 tracks in one direction? Best regards

I had one of these brand new. One issue with these was the DC reel motors. I heard something about a modification where one could get the regular AC reel motors to replace the DC motor assemblies.

Beautiful

did you find the reason for led meter showing signal? i got the same behaviour but what i noticed is that when i measure the output signal using an oscilloscope, i get a raised 4 volts that dont oscillate... and it is somehow linked to the visible meter value... i recapped the cards, but it did not change anything. When i place the card into another channel slot, the error travels with the card, so i think its clear there is something happening on the channel card itself.

Miller’s great but Bass guitar’s can’t lead a band. Notice the importance of the horns.

Hey I have the exact same deck as you! Do you know where to find any good belts for the deck?

Next time, use a tripod, camera gave me a headache!!

Playing flute ! that's rich. Gotta love THAT (^8

Was there a Tascam Pro 38 and a consumer 38? What was the differance?

So good to see your video. I myself sailed the Bay Area spots from 2007 to 2023 non-stops. Sailed all the spots with Crissy field being my home base. Good to see the evolution of the gear in the last 20-30 years. I personally do windsurf, windfoil and wing foil. Foiling is amazing and highly skilled too. Wish you could have tried because it’s amazing. Can’t wait for your 2nd video. Thank you!

Fascinating story!

Donde puedo importar uno desde Chile?

Amazing machines... love seeing what gear you are working on... cheers from USA!!

Does the tape need to be new for the calibration?

Very impressive work

I just took one of these in on trade yesterday. Mint condition, in the original box, with the dust cover. Should be a fun project.

Hello. I must say I am very pleased with your many instructional videos you had made and time. Your knowledge is really great and many smart solution I'm really impressed.🏅 - In his video about 4-speed modification was something, wow! 🏆 I am really interested in and want to know a little more about that? I have tried to search the internet about it, but was unsuccessful. Can you please help me?🤓

I still have this same deck (my profile pic). It was my father's and I still use it all the time. Just made a mix tape yesterday. For something that is over 40 years old, it still preforms great.

Hello sir I'd like to ask can you turn my Sony TC- 580 to take that size reel and if you can how much will it cost, thank you so much and much success to your show.

do you have spare parts for it? You don’t take these for repairs, I need to set mine up.

Why isn’t there a website link in your description? 😅

hi have this model it don't like the small reels a tenson thing payed very little for it bro gave me money for it came from oxford u yes it porr's like my cat

hi i have a up date i ripped apart a deck to do alot of RD on the last deck i did find alot capstan motor can run like crazy beware all the wire's in the plug that goe's on the servo pcb left it of one wire motor went crazy speed note the main pcb you don't need it the deck can run on a computer pie the counter is bad on my deck the main pcb is going bad so i got a mate to dip it and send all the parts back to me there is key parts needed i find in the tascam 38 decks i did find out how the power trans work the tenson side i plan to post a video this year you know them 14 inch tape you had i am using them with otarii mtr 12 motors and info i got from the tascam 38 deck RD work on that scully 280-14 i pulled apart

hi watched you video sometime ago you put me in the right place to look i have one tascam 38 that was in a very bad way note i had the main pcb put in a solder bath the main pcb was bad and i started to re make the pcb and all i needed is some key parts the power ic's for the motor's and coil power ic's now i have a working mk 2 for playback only it's for cue the tape and editing on i have made the deck so it can spool the tape like on my otari mtr 12 i worked out how the tenson ic's work you know the fine speed knob i changed this to a step speed knob 3 3/4 7 1/2 15ips danger never let the capstan motor run are full speed you up set the solder tabs in side the motor i did this the motor started playing up till i resold all the solder parts i have some teac 1 inch heads i was using them like you said till i got my soundcraft 381 - 2 speed deck i jazzed the speed on this as well to be the same as my brenell mini 8

Выглядит стрёмно. Зачем это делать, если есть заводские варианты за доступную цену?

Allow me to say this is not the best way because the openings for the screws on the flange have raised edges and they will scratch the tape as you are gliding it especially that you did not even open the cardboard box entirely There is a better way and I used it on 250+ plus pancakes without out losing a single one Your slide your finger under the NAB hub and you keep the pancake in vertical position then you take the flange and line up the openings and pluck it against the pancake then turn the pancake and flange with flange facing down the pancake up, put the next flange on top et voila Thank you

Amen brother

hi i have to do alot of work on 6 tascam 38 getting there now fold bad audio card just one only just note i have had to repair bad breaks in the main logic pcb age is getting to them you have a had t find model with the record LED 'S my 34 is is like your deck i have a tascam 38 that is play back only i jazzed a new logic pcb for it note used to have a otari 50 50mkIII it went very ill lost the deck big time when i was looking in to how the tascam 38 works i need find alot out i desolder al the bad logic pcb to find what is bad and started to put all parts back in the pcb is to bad to use it what it's a of i did find all t power trans side of the pcb is ok so i have the deck running with out the counter the used main pcb would be over £120 if i can find one and it could be bad as the deck can play 7 1/2 i am ok with it

Hi angel is there any way you could provide info on how you built your power supply for the 460? Thanks so much im advance!

I still have one of these in working condition. Time to set it uo and play around with it, I bought it new in the med to late 1980's for $2700Cdn Didn't get much for your money back then, The mixer is still worth having around with 8 channels of analog pre-amps.

Is there any sound difference between the 4 track and 2 track model if you would play for example a tape from "analogue productions" or "the tape project" which are in stereo 2 track recorded?

Looks good while running, but how do you stop?

😮 This model is the older Brother of the Akai X-330 before take over.Very nice machine(X-330)& very versatile being able to take it outside with its built-in portable speakers,nice deck.

Can the sony-TC580 reel to reel recorder take a 10 , 10 1/2 in reel

Hi Angel!!! Hey and appreciate the video. I have been looking for anyone that can rebuild me this power supply for years. I was the guy who begged Fostex Corporate for the service manual that now seems to be the only known source that I've found (xunt was my username on the forum). After much deliberation, the young lady answering the emails randomly sent it so I immediately posted it to that forum (I can't recall the name but it's pretty generic and well established community). I have the original pdf if needed. I sent all this info to a few master electricians and all of them pretty much said that the power supply was too complicated for them to recreate or they simply did not answer. I assume they did not care to perform the job.. Is there any way I could get any info or even a crude blue print of what you did in order to get it operational? I would so greatly appreciate it. Just understanding the various output voltages and how it is pushed through the 460 would be incredibly useful to know. This is a project of mine 5 years in the making. Although I tried to buy the last power supply sold on reverb (listing from Greece), the seller would not sell to me since I was a "new user" at that time. My goal is to take all the info I have and possible get a craftsman to build a few of these so it and the blueprints of same can be available to anyone looking to buy or build their own. If there's any responses to this please please tag me in your reply so I don't miss it. I sincerely appreciate any consideration and thanks in advance!

I have the same model. How much to mod mine?
