Tapecasters were simple and relatively crude, but held their alignment pretty well, whereas Audicords were prone to get out of alignment and were badly underpowered. I'll take a Tapecaster over an Audicord any day. Alignment? I didn't know you aligned cart machines! I thought you just shook the cartridge back and forth until the high end came back. Okay, that was kind of sarcastic. But honestly, azimuth alignment on a machine that can't keep azimuth is something of an adventure. I have one client that still has one Tapecaster and one Spotmaster in their MCR, for a one-hour live weekday show where the jock has a lot of old music on carts. Another station would like to contract with me, but until they get rid of the Audicords in their MCR I'm not interested. High end cart machines are such a glut on the market right now that you might consider a contract in which you replace their whole cart arrays for a nominal price upon taking over. Put an ad in Radio World asking for cart machines and your phone will ring off the hook. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I won't contract with any station that still uses them as their primary short-form medium. I don't need their business - the signals I contract now have me working about 20 hours per week, on the average, and frankly I don't feel like working more than that. Dale H.
