  1. There's no signal passing in the right headphone channel of this Tascam 244 multitrack cassette recorder, and the left channel is distorted. Removed the Playback Amp PCB in order to recap the whole Monitor section. Now to reassemble and test. #recdel

  2. Desoldered & reflowed broken solder joints on multiple rear jacks; power had been cutting out when the plug was wiggled.

    A charred transistor prevented signal to the right channel Monitor Out jack; replaced it.

    Disassembled & deep cleaned; calibrated the tape mechanism; tested I/O, routing, recording & playback.

    This Tascam 424mkIII will be returned to the client in Nashville in a few weeks! #recdel

  5. Finished all cleaning tasks for this Tascam 244. 🧼

    There was cigarette(?) grime on the internal metal chassis that I cleaned off (mostly) using baby wipes. Also ultrasonic-cleaned the removable plastic parts, sponge-cleaned the faceplate and cassette door, a few passes over the PCBs with an electric duster, and took a toothbrush to the circular fader dust guards.

    Now moving on to contact-cleaning all potentiometers & switches... #recdel
