- Tascam Midistudio 644
First off, thanks for the info on this group. Using it (and a bit of advice from Sam at Skywave) I managed to dismantle my 644 last night, clean and lube various bits of the mechanism and replace the belt. I'm fairly handy with these things, but was a tape machine teardown virgin so it was still a slightly squeaky bum moment!
The tape is now running smoothly, but I've realised that channel 3 basically does nothing. Doesn't pass any audio to the group, or produce a signal at the mic/line input. Not the end of the world, as I can obviously use channels 5 - 8 as inputs to the groups / tape and then direct tape outs to my DAW for the crunching I want to do. It would be nice to have a 100% functional unit though, as I've got time to spare, being on furlough at the moment.
Can anyone suggest where I should start looking to identify the issue in ch.3 please?!
Thanks in advance.
