Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Spare parts for Otari MX50 / 5050

« on: May 11, 2009, 02:56:37 PM »

Just wondering if spare microprocessors for the Otari MX50 / 5050 machines are still available?
All other electronic components seem easy to get.

Hi John,
If you have a good soundcard - I have Edirol UA25 - you can use the free software Soundcard Oscilloscope ( http://zeitnitz.de/Christian/Scope/Scope_en.html ) to align your machine. It has X-Y capability for Lissajous figures and an excellent signal generator with sweep options. It can also perform frequency analysis.

Hi,
You can always use a PSAudio PS300 mains regenerator - it accepts 50hz but can output 60 Hz.
Even USA models can be switched to accept 230V input.
