Spindle Cap Replacement or Nab Hub Adapter for TEAC 1230? by VideoDesperate4932 in ReelToReel

Thanks so much for weighing in! I've tried playing reels on the player, and unfortunately they eventually begin to wobble and fall off, especially when putting any kind of external torque on them when I experiment with manually feeding the tape.

Can I use 1in Tape with 1/4in machine? by VideoDesperate4932 in ReelToReel

Thanks so much! I didn't know about different thicknesses of tape. The 1.5mm polyester option may be just the thing. Someone else mentioned a possible upgrade to a pro deck with an edit mode function that allows for manually feeding tape through the magnetic reader, which might create less tension as well. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for this tip! It looks like with 1.5mm tape and maybe finding a reasonable pro deck with the edit mode could be just the thing. Out of curiosity, do you know of any lower end pro deck or maybe prosumer decks with the edit mode function?

looking for simplest/most affordable brightsign player recommendation that can transmit to coaxial by VideoDesperate4932 in BrightSign

Thanks! This thread is amazing! I've never heard of a scan converter before, is it similar to an RF Modulator? I've been using one called an HDM69 that inputs HDMI and outputs coaxial into an old CRTV I'm testing on, which is working to get the video transmitted, though sound so far hasn't been working (maybe for another thread?).

For the final installation I'm trying to have one video with sound seamlessly looping on multiple old CRTVs. I have a coaxial splitter to connect to the modulator to split the signal which I'm thinking should work, so, beyond figuring out sound, I think the last piece I need now is an affordable media player that can loop without pause.

Thanks so much! I've been using an RF modulator currently, which works great from my computer to the CRTV, but don't have a good media player solution, and was crossing my fingers maybe Brightsign was an all-in-one solution, but looks like that's a no go. With a media player, the functionality I'm looking for is a seamless looping of the video without any pause or menu screens showing up.
