A: No, but you may find gears on eBay for around 25.00 Q: I'm concerned my unit will be damaged in shipping, what carrier do you use to ship? A: We use Fed Ex or UPS, we also provide detailed shipping instructions after your purchase. This will insure there are no problems. Q: Will this mod eventually degrade or hurt the sound or function of the unit? A: No it will not degrade, it will not interfere or change any function or signal path of the factory audio settings. Q: This mod looks and sounds great, but I really don't need it, since I record only analog why should I buy it? A: To back up tape sessions with the ease of a PC or with a secondary 8 track reel to reel, saving time and money and grief. Q: I have tried outputting my tracks individually to a PC with my current 488 and they end up out of sync. Will this fix that? A: Yes! This mod was developed for that reason, now all 8 tracks will sync perfectly in your PC. Q: I see there is a way to output all 8 tracks without this mod. A: This is true, but anyone who has done this knows it's complicated and it ties up virtually every output and the signals vary from one track to another since the audio has different signal paths. Note: Please be sure you test your unit to make sure everything functions as it should before you send it. If there are any issues please contact us first and explain what they are. Replacing gear C and the belt may repair some issues, but not a guarantee will fix the issue at hand. Therefore, please let us know what issues if any your unit has before sending the unit. Thank you. Thanks for looking, any questions just message us!
