Kame Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 A year ago, I bought a pristine Tascam MD-350 after reading about its high ranking here: http://www.tapeheads.net/archive/index.php/t-11235.html Unfortunately, I didn't notice that several contributors noted the MD-350 has problems with reliability. Sadly, after only a few months, the unit failed. The repair shop technician identified the problem: a burn out motor on the loading mechanism. He tested the motor by applying 5 volts to it and confirmed it has failed. He's not familiar with disassembly of MD loading mechanisms. He estimated it may require 10 hours for him to figure out how to disassemble and reassemble the mech unit and so and suggested we replace the entire loading mechanism. The part I need is the Drive Assembly DYMEZ202B (M0125900B) as listed in the MD-350 Service Manual. Any ideas where I can find one? Based on my experience, I would avoid the Tascam MD-350. Also, when I remove the cover on the unit, the simplicity of the circuit boards and lightweight construction did not inspire much confidence.
