Title: Just checking it will work
Post by: thedudeabides on April 15, 2012, 02:22:12 AM

Hi all,

New here - just has a question which I know will be easily answered.

For some time I have been considering investment in a rtr and have my eye on a Tascam 32-2B on eBay UK which sounds like its been looked after.
Can someone confirm this is the right spec to play 1/4 track 7.5ips tapes?

Thanks in advance

Hi, (btw, we use our real names here on this forum, please read "Forum Rules")

The 34 came in several configurations. The 34-2B is a 1/2 track machine so it won't play 1/4 track tapes.
You might wish to check out the "Beginner's Guide" located in a sticky above this forum. Toward the end (IIRC on the third page) there's a good post regarding track formats on tapes and heads.

Phew, thanks!
I nearly bought one - that would have been a mistake.
