Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Auto reverse in reverse?
« on: July 25, 2007, 07:41:41 AM »
Greetings all,
Kevin here is SF. I think I'm getting old, because, well, I don't remember how to make my TEAC A2340R, operate in auto reverse.
OK, sensing foil on underside of tape, and not too close to the end of the reel, for obvious reasons...got it. Centered on tape, no overhang, and roughly 3/8" in length...got it. Play in two track stereo for auto reverse to be able to engage...got it. Push play...Wo! it's going in reverse..what the!? Isn't it supposed to go in reverse after it senses the foil, which would mean at the end of the side? Am I missing something here? My glasses are on properly, and my wig ain't too tight.
But with all of this confounded scratching of the head, I'm killing precious follicles. Could someone give this curmudgeon a tip, hint, clue, advice...whatever?
Thank you guys so very much in advance.

Prerecorded Tapes / Re: Barclay-Crocker collecting notes

Greetings all,
After reading the first thread from ironbut about purchasing bags for tapes, I thought that I would throw my 2 cents in. I have been making my own bags. As I have access to a shrinkwrap machine, I can take vinyl album covers, cut them down, and form fit them to single, or double, tape boxes. I then create indents on the flap portion, cut down to a thin stripe, double sided tape, and, voila!, a protective, sealing cover has been made. It takes time to do, however, it is a use that I have found for used clear vinyl sleeves, rather than tossing them out into the environment.
Although, when I run out, checking out that link for pre-made tape covers will be a good thing.
Yeow.
