David ------------------------------ From: Orhay@aol.com Subject: FS: JVC XD-P1PRO DAT ensemble (w/problem) $75 Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 11:25:14 EDT Have this DAT system - but the A/D converter isn't working. The DAT itself works fine - as does the MU-Z1 digital microphone. Includes the AC adapter/battery charger (battery no longer good), the remote control, and the manuals for both the reocrder and mic. Great for spare parts if you already own one. $75 plus shipping.

This has happened to us using HHb and Sony media, but we recently heard a rumor that the Maxell blanks are less prone to "Ghost Tape" than the Sony's due to the hub locking mechanism. "All Maxell data cartridges feature Maxell's unique Saf-T-Lock- a hub-locking mechanism that assures proper tape tension and prevents misthreading during the initial loading stage" I had previously thought that it was an issue only with D8 and D7 recorders and that it can be prevented by rolling a little sound onto the leader, then when you need to start the recording, hit play, get a level, pause it and go into record mode without hitting stop. but now this rumor about the maxells comes along. . . is it just marketing hype? Has anyone had the "Ghost Tape" happen on a Maxell master?? I figured the list could use a good DAT-related question!!! thanks for your responses. :-) ------------------------------ From: dolphin smile Subject: tapers in Tampa Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 10:51:38 -0700 (PDT) any tapers in the Tampa, FL area?

Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 15:28:15 -0700 (PDT) Hey Now All! Please get out and check out the Humboldt County band Kulica! They are very Taper friendly and if you get to the venue early enough and ask for Jason or Curtis, you might be able to get in if you promise to send me a copy of the show. I am trying to archive this swiftly up and coming band so any and all help will be great. If you have to pay to get in I will send you blanks to cover your cost. They are currently in the Heartland of the States and will be touring as much as possible. Please check out their web site at < www.kulica.com > for tour dates.

LaPier" Subject: FS: Schoeps mk4vs, nbox, mod sbm-1, lunatec 316, access, 3373 stand Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 18:13:55 -0700 OK--i'm out for good. taping was fun and i met so many cool folks in the four years i've been doing this. i've never regretted buying and selling all the rigs i bought and sold. well, maybe when i sold the 41/vms02ib rig--my first true love. but anyway i can't do this anymore. kids are getting older and require more of my time. i just don't have the time anymore for shows--to justify keeping a rig. and besides, i'd prefer to sink more money into my photography rig. i've agonized over this for a short while. it's time to do it. so, here is what i got for sale: Schoeps mk4v's--matched pair sold here in the us. schoeps verified that, based upon the serial numbers, the caps are matched. i think i have a buyer but i'll offer these up in case. $1000 plus shipping. Nbox--comes with active cables. It's in excellent to mint condition. used only three times. $1000 plus shipping--they sell for $1100 new. this one is basically new--and available now. Oade Modified SBM-1--bought new from the oades for $600. comes with original box and everything that's in it. also used only three times. $550 plus shipping. Accessories--$100 plus shipping schoeps a20s shockmount schoeps stc ortf bar schoeps sg20 ( 2 ) vark bar i just figured out that you can run the 4vs in the sg20s mounted to the outside studs of the vark and get very close to 17cm--a solution to running 4vs ortf. for the 4v/nbox/modsbm-1/access, and custom rca cables made just for the nbox/sbm-1.--$2500 plus shipping. i'll sell this as a set first--if not, i'll break it up. Lunatec 316--i might just keep this one just because of it's rarety. comes with oade 12 volt battery and charger, and two power cables. recently sent into grace for a clean bill of health. a few things fixed and adjusted. i'll throw in a pair of audio magic presto II xlr>rca cables. $675 shipped. all prices are pretty much firm. basically, anyone who buys this stuff is buying mint or damn near close to mint condition. i take great care of my stuff. i'm not desperate to sell. i can sit on this stuff for as long as it takes to sell it for what i want--what i'm saying is no haggling, or lowball offers. oh--i have one of those really nice manfrotto stealth stands ( 3373 ). just bought it and it's new--never used. you guys know what they go from bhphotovideo. i can't use a stand like this for my camera make me a reasonable offer. i think that's it. one last thing--someone is using my rig for a comp. i can't ship anything til i get that stuff back. bill ------------------------------ From: LOMBG Subject: Looking for James Helgerson Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 23:53:03 -0400 Hi- If you're out there or if anyone knows how to contact him, please have him e-mail me.
