Hello all,

I just picked-up an old Studer A80RC mono machine. It's 1/4" and it's
got full track heads. I want to use this thing mainly as a reamp
machine.

Right now, it can only playback, not record. It ain't go no record
card in. I found some on Ebay and now I want to know if it's the only
thing I'm missing! Anyone got infos on those old machines? I haven't
found much on the web. Thanks in advance.

How the heck do you expect us to know? Why not ask the person from
whom you got the machine? There can be many things besides a missing
record card that can keep a recorder from recording.

When you THINK you have a whole machine, then start diagnosing
problems, if you still have them.

Look for an Erase & Record head...if they're missing, the price for
conversion to something usable has gone up quite a bit.

At first look, everything's there. I've got the 3 heads. I'm just
not sure if I need more cards because I have a few "Studer" plates
missing underneath the desk. I thought that maybe there once was
cards there...

I have all of the transport cards (to the right of the machine). I've
got a Repro card (which works obviously) and a Stabilizer card. Now,
I *think* I might be only missing the record card (which I bought, I'm
waiting for it).

I've got no experience what so ever with those machines. That's why
I'm short of info here. Sorry about that.

Thanks!

Hi Marc,
You really need a manual to work on Studer machines. I happen to have one for
the A-80 RC. E-me if you decide you need one. RC manuals are pretty rare.
Good luck,
Chris P

You really need a manual to work on ANY gear that was intended for large pro
studio facilities having a shop. You also need all the tech notes and
hopefully a log of all the modifications done.

This is not mass-produced consumer gear and only a very few units didn't
require extensive modifications after they were released. Older pro gear is
more like an Indi 500 car than a family sedan. One reason it is often so
much better than new gear is the fact that it frequently benefited from the
shared expertise of our leading studio technicians.
