i had to repair the pulley cog wheel on my unit which wasnt working correctly, i bought the two aluminum replacements from tascamninja, expensive but now that part is literally immortal :) the original plastic ones tend to break over time, plenty of units around with that issue, i can't recommend enough doing that substitution, even if your wheels didn't break up yet! easy fix and everlasting!
Hi DB, Great to hear from you. Thanks for introducing me to TASCAM Ninja. Those aluminum replacements look superb. I used epoxy to repair the plastic ones on this machine. I'll recommend the aluminum ones for the next R8. Thanks again
@@5thcomm you are more than welcome!! yah, its a cool resource and those wheels are just perfect! they are very expensive because he has to ask a clock factory to do them just for him, custom, so being a very small production the costs are really high compared to industrial numbers! anyway, its a one time deal, then they will last forever!
O'jays ROCK! Which remix is that (great version)? Is there a reason channel 7 is playing back at a slightly lower level? Very appropriate for election day! "Smilin' faces smilin' faces sometimes tell lies (What they do. They smilin' in your face). Take care!
Excellent as usual 👌

That’s a lot of gear
