On my comment I just posted , I wrote, ' Now either put a flat piece of plexiglass...'. I meant to say to just put plexiglass on the speaker cone, but you could also utilize mechanical leverage by fastening a fulcrum point coming off the edge of the speaker so that the 1st tape head could be adjusted to vibrate ( oscillate more, or even less) based on speaker vibrations. So yes this might sound like a nutty idea, but consider recording onto a tapeloop w/ more heads playing back. Idea 12 yrs old.
Try this and give me credit for putting it out there. Take old CD player-to-cassette adapter & unhook the tape head and wire w/ 1/8" plug, discard housing, keep rest . Get a speaker ( a low watt, but 3"-6" speaker). Now either put a flat surface of thin plexiglass on the speaker cone & mount your CD adapter tape head at right angle on this plexiglass surface. Fasten a 2nd playback head to stable surface, but directly facing 1st head. Take L ch. from each head to spkr amp mixer IN & R to OUT.
We have fitted a 12 way rotary swith inside the actual machine and fitted the rest into a break out box, should be ready to see later today. You could always try bidding on one of machines on ebay, we have lots of stuff here to work on and are looking to get a 400v, as we have not tried one yet.
sounds intriguing, that many bends in a chassis so small must be an interesting challenge , I wish I could afford to commission you to mod my MT-400v (I love it to much to risk losing it to my random fumblings!) so much potential though (warranty void/tablehooters) that it seems made for modding
I love it! esp. with the 909, reminds me of bangin overloaded sound systems way back when, I just wish I'd paid more attention when my tech friend tried to explain electronics to me! good old google eh? now I have all knowledge (and little understanding) p.s. your dinners gone cold
The new "DIRT-BOX MK-II" video is just loading now and should be ready when you get this message. Have fun with the new project! I'm just waiting for the araldite to set...

There is a special edition video coming later, we have just finished our first commission, a 24 mod Casio SK-1 with a break out box. Heavy stuff!
