The knobs with pins on the back of your reel-to-reel tape recorder are likely for setting the tape tension and alignment. They help ensure that the tape runs smoothly and maintains proper contact with the playback and recording heads. Adjusting these knobs can help prevent tape slippage, improve sound quality, and extend the life of the tape. Always refer to your specific model's manual for precise adjustments and settings.

Who and when was the cassette player invented by?

A cassette deck is a type of tape recorder for playing or recording audio compact cassettes. A deck was formerly distinguished from a recorder as being part of a stereo component system, while a recorder had a self-contained power amplifier (and often speakers).The cassette recorder was introduced by the Philips Corporation in 1963 and marketed in 1965 as a device for vocal dictation designed for portable use. It was not intended to be a replacement for reel-to-reel recorders. It enclosed both reels of the recording tape in a small case which eliminated the need to thread the tape through individual reels.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette_player


Who inveted the first video recorder?

I only recall the first video recorder as being made by a company called Ampex. It used 2" video tape on a reel to reel system with a helical scan quad head. It was available in 1954, weighed about a ton and a half because of all the vacuum tubes and electronics used with it. It was huge in size. About 4' wide, 36 to 40" tall and was made out of cast steel. Of course, that's just the recorder base. Then there were about two 19" racks filled with electronics, plus a series of monitors and scopes that were mounted above the recorder itself.


How do you avoid your abu garcia ambassadeur 5000c reel from developing a rats nest when you cast?

you have to use your thumb. its a baitcasting reel so the operation is different from a spincasting reel, which i believe to be more common. i recently got one of these reels, a 5000C gold, so i just looked up, researched and ask questions on how to cast them. it takes practice. hope this helps answer ur question. The Ambassadeur has several adjustments that allow you to tune your reel for the weight of the lure/bait you are using. This will reduce the "overrun" that produces the birdsnest. There are two primary system. The easier to adjust are the spool caps. These are the two knurled knobs. One on each side of the reel. Screwing these in increases the tension on the spool and prohibits free rotation. To adjust place your lure on the end of the line (reel should be mounted on the rod and line should be fed through eyes before tying on lure). Hold the rod out and mash the button on the back right of the reel. The spool should now rotate and the lure will fall. Adjust the knobs in a manner that increases the tension and slows the fall of the lure to a steady 1 foot drop per second. It is best to try and apply tension evenly from both sides which would require backing both knobs completely off and then apply pressure evenly from both sides. Once the reel is adjusted for the lure you are using you can make minor adjustments to suit new lures or your taste and level of expertise.


How does a fishing reel work to help anglers catch fish?

A fishing reel works by allowing anglers to cast their fishing line farther and reel it back in smoothly. When a fish bites, the reel helps to control the tension on the line and bring the fish in.

Teac tape recorder - Where can you buy tape for a TEAC A-2340 recorder?

The Teac 2340 is a 1/4" open reel tape recorder. Once a very common high quality recording format, it is now becoming largely redundant. 1/4" tape is not as widely available as it was some years ago but it is still around and stocked by a few specialist suppliers. A search of "1/4 inch recording tape" will list several online suppliers. Remember that magnetic tape has always been expensive. A 10.5" reel of tape is likely to cost a similar amount to a low cost MP3 recorder and will not store as much audio as the MP3 player. The signal stored on tape also decays over time and is sensitive to damp and temperature changes. Despite the problems, there is still something about open reel tape decks that makes them appealing. There are likely to be a few enthusiasts who will keep alive the tradition of open reel tape for many years to come.
