A number of films in my collection have accompanying audio on formats which changed over the years: audio cassette, a few reels of 1/4″ tape, DAT and solid state recording devices.
When searching for the original audio for the Sea City project recorded on DAT (Digital Audio Tape) I discovered my DAT recorder had expired – it turned on but would not play the tape. I contacted various friends and local organisations to borrow a player but all the machines had problems of one sort or another, seven machines in total!
A Panasonic SV-3800 DAT machine bought on eBay chewed up a tape
so was returned for a refund. It played a few tapes OK and these were captured via S/PDIF to the laptop.
Eventually I found a repairer in Ireland who fixed my Tascam DA-P1 – expensive!
