Tele-Tech to the rescue, maybe (I hope)

Well I think I’m going to send the Otari MX-70 down to Toronto to this place

I would love to be able to send the machine down to Chicago and have Soren Wittrup fix it up as he has lots of experience with these particular machine, but getting to beast down to Chicago seems out of the question at this point.

I’m going to have to the tech at Tele-Tech (Patrick Holden) do some exploratory work, at his hourly bench rate, to determine the scope of the repairs.  It is very hard to have these machines repaired - you are kind of at the mercy of the technician.  If I was to say ‘just fix it’, it could end up costing more money then you would be able to buy a fully warrantied, 100 % functioning multitrack from a used dealer….  or it might just be a fuse…..  I just don’t know.

All I know is that I have recorded on tape machines for the past 15 years and if you get all the inputs right (micing, acoustic environment, performances, etc) the output is the sound of rock and roll.  And that is my ultimate goal.
