We decided against our company. Good luck to you all.

If a unit has heads that are in damaged condition, the deck is close to worthless. I have backup heads that are in new condition for Akai units that may have bad heads. Lapping heads is an absolutely terrible idea. A head is done for once it has a groove in it. We fix machines that are in...

Hi all, My father has been repairing tube amplifiers and tape machines for almost 40 years, not on a professional basis, but for his own needs. He can recap amplifiers, and he is learning how to calibrate, align heads, etc. So, this month, we decided we'd start the process of making a tape...

There's no "cure" for sticky shed, but if you important material on there, bake it quickly before you lose it. Ryan

Nu Finish was the name... I thought it was silicone. Sorry for my confusion. Baking is also good. Ryan.

Yes. You have to keep it on small for 7". Ryan.

So you're saying the industry standard from 1948-1989 sucks? Man you're not thinking right. Ryan.

Yes, but just because yours don't squeal doesn't mean others don't! THEN wipe off the lube as much as possible, then, non squealing tape.

No... Stop. Read on the inside of a Scotch tape. SILICONE LUBE IS IN THE TAPE.

No........ Something that stops squealing on tape, some type of silicone stuff

Well, thank you for welcoming me home! Feels like home here! It's just like Tapeheads, except you're at a beach resort instead of an office. Ryan.

You can with proper biasing and eq, my friend. It's just a little rough on your heads, and easy to break if not careful. There's a tension function on the 2340 and 3340 models that says "large and small reels," DEFINITELY use the small reel tension with 111. It's fragile. Also, to help with that...

Yes, I agree with that. Anyway, how do you like my TEAC A3340S?

It's not his fault that a faulty fuel switch broke on him, and he fell like a shot bird out of the sky.

Hi there. I got it for $399.00 off of eBay from a guy in Syracuse, New York. He calls himself "hifi." Really good seller. Don't know who serviced it. Ryan.

He had a great voice, but he tragicay killed himself due to a bad switch in his ultra light plane. It's not his fault. Ryan.
