thanks yes of course i will let you know no problem :upthumb
iirc had some issues with my SQ record of Still Crazy (channel assignment or phase i can't recall now exactly, something seemed off) but the Rhymin SQ LP i remember decoded really well. there are Q8 conversions of these out there already, i doubt i'll be able to improve upon any of them but its fun fiddling about with all this ol' Quad stuff!

Isaac Hayes, Argent, and The Edgar Winter Group nice haul.

Shaft - Isaac Hayes : Album 2 (Q8)

I needed another copy of Album 2 Q8 since I recorded in tape 1 ok and then this happened to the first copy of tape 2 :yikes

 

[DuncanS]

It looks like it snapped and was spliced together previously - you could try re-splicing?

thanks Duncan, I may well have a go at that if i can't get a decent playthrough of the 2nd copy as i won't be shelling out for a 3rd tape if number 2 breaks! :upthumb

Awww, c'mon..splice are fun!!!! (sorry, couldn't help it!)...do you have a metal splicing base...and of course, a nice one sided razor and splicing tape...and lots of patience....

 

[DuncanS]

I thought I had some splicing tape I could send, but its gone, probably fell into the same wormhole that my Shure M24H CD4 cartridge fell into!
