Latest upgrade ready to go. Goodbye trusty Tascam 38, hello more trustierer (😉) Tascam 58. Recently purchased from the good folks at and with a full MOT by the wonderful (who i highly recommend by the way).
Any serious tape head would laugh at the suggestion that a 40 year old, half inch, tascam 8 track could be described as the Rolls Royce of anything and yet as far as tascam half inch 8 tracks go, this 58 really is the best machine they made. A sexy beast. Come have a play!
