I’ve got a BQII-II 4 and a case of 10.5" 224 tape. Can’t see any reason for recording on it. Except for maybe a little tape flanging.
Besides, if you are serious you HAVE to pull the drive motors and rebuild them before any moderate use. They are not available anywhere and they WILL self-destruct. You will find that they are already coming apart. I’ll bet your Panasonic speed switch is bad. Pick one speed and stay there. They don’t make them anymore either. Lotso luck.
All I want to do is transfer my 4 channel stuff to Pro Tools with my Scarlett interface.
