Great Video - thanks - I have a DA-30 that has been in the closet for 20 years. Had similar problem - tape would drop but not wrap around head/play. I did a bit of isopropyl alcohol and Q-tip cleaning, then used a Q-tip to put a bit of MG Chemical Super Contact Cleaner with PPE on the rails and around the moving parts. Then I used a hair dryer to warm the entire transport mechanism up, then while it was still warm, I put in a tape and eureka! Then I unloaded the tape, went back in with alcohol to clean up any oily bits and then loaded and unloaded the tape several times. This got me going without having to perform the major disassembly. Have loaded several different tapes, done full wind/rewind and played about 20 minutes of audio so far and all is good. Using the AES/EBU output to an old MOTU box and into Audacity to do a direct digital transfer of many live concerts and audition tapes from the 90's. Hopefully my shortcut won't come back to haunt me!
Hey just wanted to congratulate you on this "shortcut" of yours, it also did the trick for me (no hair dryer though) last little problem is on a certain tape it won't rewind totally because of? to tight of a tape inside the cartridge? or slipping belt around the pulley? anyway, way easier than disassembling the whole thing thx!
@@oreilletube Jean-Pierre, glad this was helpful! I have successfully transferred about 40 hours of material and have at least that much to go. I had a minor issue with only one tape so far…was binding a bit but a second rewind/fast forward solved it. With your issue, it might be the tape sticking to itself….used to be an issue with old open reel tape that wasn’t stored in a temperature and humidity controlled space. You might try manually advancing the tape reels by carefully sliding the bottom of the cassette open (little catches in the slots…small non ferrous tool will release them), then lift the front cover up 90 degrees and gently use something (again non ferrous is safest) to turn the centre hubs to advance or rewind the cassette. You may be able to see your problem that way as well. Ideally don’t touch the tape! And don’t apply too much force! I would back up the playable portions before attempting this! Good luck!
Thanks for a very interesting video. I recently became the owner of a Fostex DAT wich only needed a head cleaning. I will save your video just in case it (the Fostex) decides to give me grief in the future.
That was quite the adventure. That's what happens to watches, they have to be disassembled and all the old lube cleaned and replaced and reassembled. This was just as complex.
Thanks for the video it helped me with my da-30 as it needed new belts and old grease removed and re lubed working great now not bad for a 50.00 ebay find thanks
Looking forward to part 2. As I remember, pinch roller to capstan pressure was an issue on DA30. Cleaning heads and tape path wouldn't hurt as well. Cheers! :-)
Thank you for your great work. Mine eats up tape from time to time so I guess it needs to go to repair. I don't use it to play tapes though. I use it as a DAC for my cd player. It would be perfect for me if I could just press record without any tape in the machine but I haven't found any info on how to make it possible. Maybe it is not.
I would start by checking to see if there is any interference in the power supply voltages. I would also see if the noise is impacting one channel or both. Perhaps a capacitor, transistor, or IC is starting to go bad.
I've got the same machine Dave. Mine started making a fluttering sound playing tapes, I cleaned the spinning heads, but it didn't solve the problem... and I think it ""automatically"" recorded over my music. I tried playing a tape several times, it fluttered at first, then when I was rewinding it, it quit searching and playing, like there's no music to play. So I didn't put anymore good tapes in it to be safe. It's a very complex machine.
Considering that this model only operates on 48khz and 44.1khz tapes recorded in the SP speed, and the vast majority of the DAT tapes I have are recorded in 32khz LP speed, the unit is pretty useless to me, and therefore I am in no big hurry to spend any more time on it.
Hi. Hope you are fine. I have Kenwood dx7030 with same mechanism as tascam da30. Actually I have two units with same problem. Both playing the cassette but not sounds out. The vu meters blinking with the relay switch in the circuit board but not sounds comes out. Please help
@@mrpedrodrodriguezsr7628 This one is on the back burner for a couple of reasons. For one I dont have a service manual as if yet but the main reason is it only has the standard speed and the majority of the tapes I have that I would be playing are recorded in LP which this one does not play. So as far as a machine I would use, this one is like that Panasonic 3700 I overhauled a few years ago. It is sitting in storage and has not been used since because it won't play the majority of my existing tapes and I really deny record anything to tape these days. If it played LP then I would be more interested in servicing it.
I had same issue with grease...recapped preamp but on the end i dont have any sound...mecha works but no signal from tape at all...eventually some A time on counter for few sec....any advice?
i have da30 from an cleaning house for sell guy.it looked good....not working.after hours of cleaning ,changing belts...i had reachthe level of....load the tape and sfter this....capstain motor start running on realy high speed.....so any sugestions on what did i missed
There is no simple solution to get rid of that sticky grease. One is to dismantle and use ultrasound hot bath with detergents. But with these DAT or VCR mechs, drums and all electronics stuff can't easily and reasonably be disassembled. The only and hard way is to dissolve and scratch, pull and dismantle... try and get things progressively back to live, and hey, that's what you do! The RF signal looks weird, does not look like mechanical problem, most probably from bad caps in the preamp, or a bad mixer transistor or diode. Sony DATs preamp have caps problems, but Tascam normally uses different circuits with different troubles... and solutions. Anyway, as far as SMD caps are involved... We're viewers are sticked on our screens, awaiting for the next episode: DAT 2!
I'll probably get back on it tomorrow. Today was an adventure filled day at the bank co-signing for my 22 year old daughter to get a small loan. That and a video recovery that I had to babysit because the guide posts on the camera were wandering all over the place when the video was recorded 20 years ago, and it made recovery a challenge. (I got a 100% recovery from the 8mm tape BTW) So tomorrow I will sit down and stare at this a little longer as I await parts to fix my Panasonic DVD recorder.
Off Subject - Have anything on a JVC BR-S800U, head alignment, etc. Mine was working, moved to another location and alignment seemed Soave gone out. Any assistance appreciated.
Many jvc units have those guide base assemblies that fall apart. I did a video on one but I don't know if yours is the same mechanism because model numbers mean nothing to me, sorry. I need to see the chassis. No model number rings any bells these days. Been out of the business too long.
Hello, I got same deck. Everything works A1 except left reel (closest to pwr switch). It stutters only in Rewind mode. In regular play, record, FF there's no problem. Driving me bonkers...any thoughts ?
12voltvids, have you ever come across a problem with these DAT machines where you can use AMS or direct program entry, the transport will either FWD or RWD to the correct spot and instead of playing the tape it just sits there? you can then press play and it plays but not by itself?
speaking of dat i have a dat deck a fostex d5. it has xlr for the analog inputs and outputs. i used an xlr to rca and the input was way off balance and the input was weak and the output was weak too. the optical in and out works just perfectly though. idk what is up with the deck but only paid bout 27 bucks for it used. its almost like the da30 but slightly different
I have the same unit that was unused for quite a few years. When I fired it up, it seemed to work fine, but then it started snapping the DAT tapes during play. I am guessing, without taking it apart yet, that the supply reel may be hanging up and the take up reel and pinch roller is probably tugging at the lazy (or none working) supply reel putting excessive stress on the tape. Besides the cassette tray belts that you mentioned, are there transport belts as well, or is it a direct drive mechanism? Any info you can share would be helpful. Thanks. Phil NYC Area
@@tacofortgens3471 Thanks for info. I just have it sitting in my rack. Fortunately, wth DAW recording and mixdowns I really don;t need the DAT recorder (Tascam DA30 model) anymore for my mixdowns...thanks!
Have you ever had to work on a walkman dd with a slippery capstand. Mine wont play at all I replaced the gear and pinch roller. I think the original owner lost pieces that held in the parts, so I think the mech that moves the head and pinch roller is at an angle out of place and it doesn't push but idk
Hi. thanks for your videos. I have a tascam with the same problems, it is the same model. I have repaired the mechanical, now the electronic part. there is no sound. With the preamplifier recapped, it rang for just a minute. It has not made a sound again. I hope I can record the next episode. greetings and thanks
Dave, sos! Have a da-30 mkii and replaced the belt on the bottom of the transport. Now tape loads but message says Close. It thinks the door is open. What did I do wrong? Thanks!
Tascam da 30 mk ll error 1 won't play certain tapes but will play other tapes why is this is something wrong with the machine or is it just the digital format on the tape I love your videos any helpful advice
Hello mister 12voltvids, you are really creative, I am sending you from Jordan and following all your videos, I have a da 30 device when I press the open and close key works fine but when I put a tape in it it takes the tape and then it comes out before putting it in the path of the head of reading and recording, and when measuring The voltage of the motor for pulling the tape at this moment does not give any voltages, and the head does not rotate. The voltages of the power source have been checked, all of them are correct except the 12-volt outlet gives 15 volts. Can you help me where the error is?
Well you did get a right bugger there :-D, but you do like the tascam models so it's worth the effort. Old vcrs would produce loads of dropouts with a bad anti static earth on the shaft. Maybe the head shaft has a cruddy earth spring?
There might be one some day or there might not. Since this is only a single speed machine and most of my radio lights dat tapes are recorded in LP this machine will not play them so there is not really an incentive for me to spend allot of time on it. I might work on it further or just sell it for parts. The guy that owned it gave it to me to part out.
Well consisering that I wasn't saying anything. Would you just prefer that I mute the mic and you just have total silence because that is the option to conversations in the other room or a tv running in the background in the other room resulting in a copyright match for audio. So 2 choices. Mask the sound with music or white noise or mute the sound. White noise would annoy everyone. And don't expect any compassion about your hearing because I live with tinnitus 24 hours a day and have since I was a teenager and thought playing loud music and going to concerts was a good thing. I only put music on when I am not saying anything important. Or are you one of these freaks that like sounds of breathing in the background?
ISO Guy that's your choice, no sympathy from this end either. I'm 75% deaf in the right ear (eustachian tube issues from childhood, repeated infection) and tinnitus in both (same reasons as Dave!) but I have a good headphone (singular) here that I can sit with the volume at 50% and it still be too loud for my left ear, or if I want to hear what's around me as well as what I'm watching, I can swap it to my bad ear & turn the volume up... You have hearing issues, get over it and rather than slate others for not being able to hear them, do something pro-active. Perhaps bone conducting headphones, or hearing aids, would help in more than just your TH-cam watching?

When 12voltvids starts adding background music to the video, you know what's up: take a seat, this is going to take a while. :-)
There are times when I am doing some intricate work and not talking, so it is either background music or total silence.

I would think capacitor before a semi. Semis generally work or they don't
That was an overhaul. Nice, will watch for audio cleanup..
Good thing that the belts slipped before snapping plastic gears..that old grease is like glue.
I use compressor oil on tip of a slot screw driver for finite moving parts. Thick viscosity differential fluid instead of lithium grease
On my Sony Dat one guide did not reach the end position ,so the sound got distorted. Using VW gearbox grease solved the problem.
Nice demonstration. I have the same model and have a problem which the drum is locked. When the tape in inside, the drum doesn’t move at all.
My guess is faulty transistors. I had the same weird noises in a power supply for an electric piano.
Ohh.. dat & Dave..again. Much appreciated! Thanks
