>> Hello everybody

>> I was cut off from ARSC for about 2 months, because their email was being

>>
>> I have 2 TASCAM 122 Mk 2 recorders.
>> They seem to have week mechanisms.
>> I was told I can use only high quality cassettes.
>> Is that how it should be?
>> I don't use junk, but the mechanism struggles and moans, then it stops or
>> eats the tape.
>> The cassettes have gotten stuck in one of them and I had to take off the
>> cover to make the mechanism give them up.
>> Is that how it should be?  Maybe the rubber parts need to be cleaned.
>>
>> *Are there any service centers for TASCAM in south Florida?*
>>
>> HELP!
