So I tried your suggestion Skadaddy, it didn't work. Yesterday I went to an editing room on my college campus to accomplish what I was trying to do, using one of their tape decks. I'm going to double check on my system that I have all the proper cables hooked up into their proper places. If my Technics is anything like the system on campus, once I hit the record button, I should just be able to hit play and it will start recording. 

No problem. One of the benefits of being one of the old guys on the board. I started collecting music before CD's. Tape decks & record players were the norm.

 

I'm curious if this works. Update the post so I'll know.

Will be sure to update! It has been some time since I've used a tape deck. As a kid, I would make mix-tapes all the time. And when I ran out of tapes, I would take the R n B and other cassettes my parents had and put tape over the notches so I could record over them. Once CDs came into my life, the tapes have sat and my decks sold. So I hope to get this one up and running again.

Try this:

 

Press the RECORD button. Then, instead of pressing the PLAY button, press the PAUSE button that lights up. Then see if the wheels spin.

 

My guess is that, when you hit the RECORD button, the deck cues the tape up to start recording. When you hit the PLAY button, you are skipping the recording function and instead are playing the blank tape in unison with whatever is coming out of the LINE IN. You wouldn't notice because the tape is blank and wouldn't produce any sound. By pressing the PAUSE button, you are essentially un-pausing the record feature and start actually recording what is coming through the system.

I'll give this a try. I swore I tried this but sometimes, the simple solution eludes me. I appreciate the help skadaddy!

I found a picture online and I keep answering my own questions.

 

There doesn't appear to be a source selector switch, so I have to assume the tape records whatever comes through any/all the inputs (essentially what you hear out the speakers), so switching to microphone probably won't make a difference.

 

So, are the wheels spinning on the cassette while recording?

 

When I have the tape inside, I press the recording button. The light turns on and the pause button turns on two. I hit the play button and the wheels spin once I hit the play button. The recording light doesn't turn off, but it doesn't seem to record anything. I played about 5 minutes of music and rewound the tape to test if it recorded or not, and nothing. 

Tapes never have, and never will, sound amazing.

For sure. I'm not an audiophile so to my poor ears, it sounds fine to me. No hiss or static or anything that diminishes the sound.

Seriously. This is how I know I'm on VC. The tape player sounds "amazing"

Not sure what you're getting at with this post.

So...how EXACTLY are you recording this?

 

You mentioned that you "made sure that all the connections were in proper places," but that was about it.

 

Does the unit have an on board microphone and you are just hitting PLAY on your iPhone while you hold it up to the mic? Is there a microphone input on the tape deck and you have a cable going from your iPhone headphone jack into the input on the tape deck?

I apologize for not being clear.

 

I have my iPhone connected to the tape player using a 3.5mm audio jack cable to RCA. The RCA cables are plugged into the "Line In" ports on the back of the tape player. I have cables running from my Tape Deck to my receiver/speakers. I can hear what is playing through my iPhone, on the speakers.

Ok if it plays properly does the tape your trying to record on have the anti record tabs knocked out on the top?

I have a blank tape, its meant to be recorded on. So those tabs are on there.

 

I am not exactly sure on the point of this. 

 

The point is to play the audio that I recorded from my phone so that it can be recorded onto a cassette tape. My teacher gave a speech and her grandfather wants a copy but doesn't have an iPhone or CD player or anyway to play a digital copy. He only has a cassette player.

Annnnnnnnnnd /thread

Not quite the end of the thread, if people could help by maybe providing a copy of a user manual that would be awesome. Or point in the right direction to solve my issue.

 

I'm typically used to a dual tape deck (I know how to record onto cassette tapes) but I know that this system is a little more complex than that. I'm just trying to troubleshoot if its user error or technical error.

Thanks everyone, it does play tapes and sounds amazing. I'll have to open it and check out on the inside to see what might be wrong with it. I may just break down and buy a user manual online.  

 

I saw it at a thrift store for $15 and couldn't resist. I too spent lots of my younger years recording songs from the radio. Would be awesome if I can save it!

So just recently I came across this.

 

Everything works great on there except the recording feature. I'm trying to just record something through my iPhone onto a Cassette tape. I've popped the cassette in and hit the record button (I also made sure that all the connections were in proper places) but it won't record. I try and look for an operating manual online and the cheapest one I found was $19. That seems a little too much for me, just to try and figure out how to properly use the recording feature.

 

Can someone help me figure out if I'm either 1) using the tape deck wrong or 2) the recording function doesn't work?

 

Any help would be great!

would have been cool if there was a bundle that had shirt or sweatshirt, poster and vinyl. no CD.

Super glad I pulled the trigger on this last night. $45 is better then paying double that (or more than that for that matter). A good soundtrack and can't wait to spin it. Hopefully those who missed out can get a chance to own a copy of this.

Hey peeps, 

 

So my girlfriend and I have 2 tickets for this show @ Concord Pavilion. They are 2 GA-PIT tickets. We bought these earlier in the summer and now we aren't able to go since our car is in the shop. So, selling these at cost ($254 for the pair).

 

These are ePrint tickets that were purchased on my account. I would prefer to sell these to someone who has a LiveNation account so I can transfer the tickets from my account, to your account (allowing you to print the tickets out yourself) and not have to print the tickets out and mail them to you.

 

I also have these listed up on eBay (KetchupNmustuD is my eBay username). I've got good reputation and will guarantee you that these are real tickets! PM me if you're interested in purchasing!

There are multiple copies up on Discogs right now: http://www.discogs.com/Beastie-Boys-To-The-5-Boroughs/release/1353766

Thanks for the info. I know about those copies. Just trying to get it for a bit cheaper price. Was hoping to look for something in the $40-$45 range and sold within the US. Granted some of the copies are like $10 more than what I'm looking to pay for. I'll probably just pull the trigger on that one in the UK. Thanks again for trying to help!

PM me. Why bother with a thread

I would imagine it being a good idea to answer some questions asked in this thread that way you don't get a bunch of people asking the same question. Give a little more info, what's the harm in that? Not trying to sound rude or tell you what to do. Just a suggestion

Bump!!!

Bump

Late night bump!

Titles explains it all. I'm not looking to spend a ridiculous price for this. If someone is willing to sell me a copy at a reasonable price, shoot me a PM! Thanks!

Panic! Sold.

Buuuuuump

Mystery bundle and MXPX sold!!

To the top!
