| Dead DA88: what to do with it?
The transport and heads on my DA88 have become unreliable--intermittent. The electronics and etc are all fine--1 owner, not used on location much etc. It doesn't make economic sense for me to pay what Tascam or etc wants to service a 16 bit machine, and the shipping for the thing would be expensive (having it packed, it's heavy etc). So it sits--in the way. So what should I do? Take it to the dump and pay the toxic waste fee as though it was a computer? Leave it out of the curb? No school etc wants to mess with a non-functioning machine...
