I recently purchased a TASCAM BR-20T. It was on my wanted list for a long time, because it looks beautiful and the operation is super smooth. And now I came across one that was very nice and looked like new. So I got it and took it home. It is a 2-track deck with time code, although I will not be using that of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course there were some minor issues with it: like the belt needed changing, and there were problems with the pinch roller and the reel tables, but nothing that could not be resolved quickly. So here is a picture of my new beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, I opened up the deck and replaced the belt, did some Service Manual adjustments, did some tension settings, and calibrated it to PER528.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now it sounds very good. Before I put it back together again, I took the EPROM and dumped the content to a file. It is on my site, in the STUDER page in the ‘EPROM and firmware’ section, should anyone need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
