Just picked this one up, absolutely mint cosmetically and all buttons and features working, only issue is something in the tape mechanism. Ticking sound while recording/playing leaving glitches in new tape recording and while playing back tapes recorded on another camera, rewind sounds smooth, suspected the take up reel gears but have inspected every tooth and can’t visually identify any cracks or flaws. Everything looks very clean inside and I can’t imagine this has many hours logged.

Have tried a cleaning cassette and also manually cleaned the pinch roller and drum, any ideas on what to try next? I’m open to finding donor parts and replacing them but I can’t actually identify what’s causing it to skip.

Hey indie rockers and lofi apologists

I spent the end of last year building a small but cozy diy recording spot in the west end and am ready to make some records with ya’ll

I’m originally from Hamilton but spent the last 10 years in Melbourne playing in bands and learning how to record and have made a few records, really excited to see what Toronto has going on in the diy community and hopefully make some more

The space has a kit and lots of amps, pedals, keyboards, a few choice mics, and other fun stuff. It’s a really inspiring vibe and I’m personally loving the sound in here

As a musician I’m into 90’s college rock bands and alt-country, the current countrygaze scene, handful of 2nd-4th wave emo, classic folk (Neil,Townes,Prine), stuff like Grandaddy and Elliot, and of course my beloved Melbourne garage/egg players. Of course a lot in-between too but that should give you an idea of the world I’m pulling from as a recording engineer and producer

If any of this is speaking to you as an artist or someone in a band I’d love to chat, even if you’re not looking to record anything yet feel free to drop me a line, I also play guitar bass a little drums and sing, maybe we can start a band!

If anyone actually sees this and wants pics and a quote for rates just hmu
