Hello Everyone!
My Sony D8 Dat has stopped recording during a show twice in the last 8 months or so(Last fall at A Ratdog show in Albany,N.Y.,and this Past June at a Moe show in Utica,N.Y.).I monitor my levels quite frequently,and noticed that the deck stopped.I taped at least a half dozen other shows in between the above mentioned shows and I'm just wondering if its probably just the fact that the deck is 8 years old.I clean the heads on the deck quite regularly,fast forward and rewind the dat tapes before,etc.Yes,I know that I'm in the minority taping Dat these days,but that Sony D8 deck has recorded some memorable shows.Would like to keep it as long as possible.Any info on possibles causes/cures would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
