This TASCAM PORTASTUDIO 424 MKII 4-Track Cassette Recorder is in great overall preowned vintage condition and working order! Owner’s manual available for download online. Courtesy of Tom Roussell, who typed this all in from the owner’s manual! The Tascam 424 MKII Portastudio is a 4-track “Multitrack Master” cassette tape recorder and a full-function mixer with 8 inputs/stereo outputs combined into a single workstation. The 424 MKII records on readily available standard (Philips) Compact Cassette tape, high bias Type II. The recorder has 4 tracks while the mixer has a stereo output; however, using the DIRECT feature you can record on any or all of the 4 tracks at one time. The 424 MKII’s dbx Noise Reduction virtually eliminates unwanted tape noise. A special SYNC feature turns off the dbx on track 4 separately, making it possible to record and play back the MIDI sync tones or SMPTE/EBU time code without being affected by the dbx encode/decode. This ensures that the sync tones/code are recorded and played back without unnecessary processing. With proper operating techniques, it is not necessary to leave a guard band between music and sync tone tracks because of the low crosstalk of the TASCAM heads. The transport controls of the 424 MKII are microprocessor operated, allowing highly reliable functions that make the unit easier to use. A three-point autolocator (MEMO/LOC 1 and 2 and RTZ) lets the tape STOP or PAUSE at, or PLAY from preset points. REPEAT allows a section to played over and over between the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 points. REHEARSAL programs the 424 MKII to repeat a punch-in/out sequence as many times as you wish, and AUTO IN/OUT actually executes it on tape exactly as you “previewed” in REHEARSAL Two tape speeds offer HIGH for greater fidelity, and NORMAL for compatibility with standard cassette tapes. The tape speed can be increased or decreased with the PITCH CONTROL dial in both playback and record, to match pitch or for special effects.

Vintage Tascam 244 multitrack recorder in decent cosmetic shape for its age, see photos. All knobs and buttons are present. There appears to be an issue with the pinch roller and would likely need to be replaced. All VU meters light up, and look great. I’m almost tempted to hang onto this 244 but do not have time for repairs at this time. Hopefully someone can restore this or find a use combining two 244s into one working one. Thanks for looking and good luck! This item is in the category “Musical Instruments & Gear\Pro Audio Equipment\Recorders”. The seller is “shawstedm” and is located in this country: US.

This Vintage TASCAM Porta02 MiniStudio 4-Track Tape Cassette Recorder & Power Supply is in good condition overall but does show expected signs of age and wear. The MiniStudio is in clean, very good condition and all controls function exactly as you would hope. The plastic body is solid and only minor signs of honest wear can be seen, no serious cracks or other damage are present. I have tested all inputs and have made recordings on all four tracks and everything works just as it should. The original TASCAM power supply is included but it has been repaired the wire connecting the male adapter has been resoldered and covered back over with tape, works great even though it’s not pretty!
