Tape is Very, Very Quiet - If someone stops by and asks you to help them make some noisy thing less noisy, yo... - https://hackaday.com/2023/09/09/tape-is-very-very-quiet/ #noisedampening #science #tape #3m

8/ I put the tape recorder back together enough for it be safe until I got a proper workspace cleared off, and on a whim tried a tape in it. It's working again, but now it's got a sort of buzzy, noisy sound to it. It's a pretty simple design, and whoever assembled the thing did so in such a messy way that I wonder if I should just replace/resolder everything.

7/ I'm not seeing anything obviously wrong. I sort of expected to open this up and see that a cap had popped or was leaking (the yellow crust on a couple of the caps is dead adhesive from some decades old tape I peeled off) or something else that'd be a giveaway. Guess it's time to get out the multimeter.

6/ Four easily accessible phillips screws and you're right there at the audio i/o board, belts and speaker. What a convenient, simple design! From the sounds of the screws coming loose, I thought I must be the first to open the shell since it left manufacturing, but there appear to be bodges on the audio circuitry and witness marks on the screws that secure it to the cassette player mechanism.

3/ The recording seems relatively clean, so my first thought was that this was recorded from a computer directly - perhaps something like one of the old Atari 8-bit machines, that would play an audio recording while reading the program data? I am pretty sure though that I heard a chair scoot on the second third loop of the song. So now I'm curious if anyone recognizes the tune?

2/ After 5 mins or so I started using the Fast Forward to jump around and see if there was anything recorded, with no hints of anything. So I let it spool up all the way around the other reel, and tried the other side. There was an abrupt sort of noise preceding a recording of a simple song being played on repeat, which to me sounds like maybe MIDI music.

1/Got a cassette tape recorder from the thrift store today. I didn't notice until I got it home it had a cassette in it, entirely spooled to side B. After I pulled the batteries out (labeled 'Best if installed by Jan 1997') I plugged in a figure-8 cable and hit play. Surprisingly, the tape reels started spinning and the speaker output the kind of quiet white noise you'd expect from a blank tape.

Analyse de pannes d'une chaîne #Hifi #Pioneer XR-P670F : changeur 25 CD hésitant + double lecteur #K7 inopérant.

Après ouverture : 9 CD du changeur sont tombés partout dans le mécanisme et ça bloque le chariot de lecture (les CD sont rangés verticalement et donc il faut vider le changeur avant de déplacer la machine …)
Accès pas trop compliqué à la mécanique K7 : 4 courroies à changer (3 courroies fondues ...).
Ça va être du sport de les replacer correctement 😅

Bon, il va falloir faire une #Cassette cet aprem 🤨

Hey :-).

Heute wurde um 15.05 Uhr in Corso im #Deutschlandfunk ein Beitrag zum 60jährigen Jubiläum der Erstvorstellung der Kompaktkassette ausgestrahlt.
Das begleitende Gespräch fanden wir angenehm klischeefrei und es ist sehr hörenswert.
Hier entlang :-):

IBM anuncia la unidad de cintas Jx modelo TS1170, con capacidad de 50TB (150TB con compresión 3:1). Eso es dos veces y media la capacidad de las cintas LTO-9. Aunque LTO es un estándar, es IBM quien fabrica los dispositivos usados por HPE y Quantum. Sin embargo, estas cintas Jx son exclusivas de IBM. #storage #backup #tape #drives #lto #jx
