- 80-8, Model 5, A3440, 2A
Hello all,
Well, I've decided to resurrect my original recording system, which includes the TEAC/TASCAM 80-8, TEAC A3440, Model 5 mixer, Crown D75 amplifier, Revox A77-HS, Pioneer CT-F9191 cassette and Klipsch La Scala monitors. (Hey,I wanted all TEAC/TASCAM recorders -- but the day I went to buy the system, the dealer was out of stock on the 25-2 and a high-end TEAC cassette deck, so I bought the Revox and Pioneer. I was on a deadline and couldn't put off the purchase.)
Everything checks out in working order -- EXCEPT the TASCAM 80-8.
It won't record. None of the 8 channels will record, either singly or with all-8 selected.
PLAY and SYNC work fine on every track. It reads input levels perfectly, and I get output in REC mode. It just won't record. I'm unsure if it erases, I have no tapes with anything recorded onto them.
Any tips on how to get it recording again? Could the fault be the bias oscillator? Is it likely that all 8 relays would be defective?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really enjoy the 80-8 and am anxious to have it making music again!
Thanks!
