Maybe a better post for the production forum but there are more older users here.

This shot is Janice at our long gone mid 90's Tascam 8 track cassette 688 MidiStudio unit recording my bass track. I'm wondering if there are any former users here and if so have you ever run across any means of accessing the tracks from a cassette without buying a used unit (they are pricey.) For example a service that would do it? I've looked around the net to no avail but ya never know.
Thanks,
Bud
PS And then there is the later Tascam digital recorder that had a proprietary means of saving project tracks to a CD instead of saving each as a wav. And what did I do? Yep used the proprietary method that would now require me purchasing a used one, as above, to access the tracks. Sigh.
