Tape Tech / A readable electrical schematic set for the Otari 5050B-lll2

« on: February 21, 2017, 08:24:41 AM »

I've found good schematics for every other machine that Otari makes eccept for the
one I own. I have a scanned copy that is 149 pages with schematics but as you
can imagine the schematic is not very clear(because it is scanned) and almost impossible to decipher values.
I just need electrical schematics, everything else in the manual is readable.
Thsi is the only copy I found with elec drawings,just not readable, If someone has them and would
be kind enough to send them to me I would appreciate it.

Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Revox B77 problem

« on: November 03, 2008, 03:56:14 PM »

My B77 has no audio output and nothing registers on the meters when playing a tape not through headphone jack either.
When I monitor (input) the meters look good. And when I try to plug in headphones its terribly distorted,not sure whats happening.
Any Ideas from B77 owners would be helpful!

Reel to Reel Tape Machines / 4/2 track

« on: October 18, 2008, 11:15:30 AM »

I'm looking to upgrade my teac 4010sl player with a machine that will play 4 track and record and play 2 track.
I want the best sounding I can afford for 1200-2000$,originally I wanted the revox b77 which doesn't support
both formats. I want to play 4 track prerecorded tapes with the option to play tape project tapes later down the road.
From some investigation the studer pro decks seem to do this with a choice in equilization options but they are pricey
and it may take some time to find one at a decent price, but if they do do what I want it may be worth it. The most important thing is GREAT SOUND of coarse, any ideas or recommendations are appreciated.
