Hope someone can point me in a direction to fix this sentimental piece of gear. Teac 144 2 bus 1984. So I had not touched this thing for about three decades. Transport was non op. Replaced all the rubber and got the transport working. Plays back session tapes from thirty years ago just great. No issue with Playback. If I record something new on either bus what I get on playback is a wobbly somewhat distorted mess. I don't think the transport is the issue due to the great playback of tapes from back in the day. I feel like an adjustment in the record / bus circuitry or failure of a component of some sort in the record circuitry is to blame. If anyone has any hints or the name of a solid tech in SoCal, please let me know. Thanks!!
