Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Re: Tascam FM22-4 Series

Hi

I have many (over 100) 1 7/8" 4 track audio tapes recorded in 1965 that need to be transfered.  We have been looking at possibly modifying a Tascam 34B to to the job. But we don't know much about the internal transport.  I have been working with www.precisionmotorworks.com to try and figure out the best solution.  Is the capstan direct drive or belt driven, and how is the motor receive its sync, etc?  If you have any input or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Hello

I am looking at a Tascam FM22-4 deck for purchase.  I don't know much about this deck and can't find much info on line.  Is it a slow speed data recorder?  I need a deck that runs at 1 7/8" ips.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
