hi bambi,

thanks for the helpful info. you're right, getting a used 3800 may be more trouble than it's worth. there was a Sony R500 on ebay that looked to be in good shape (recently serviced), but it just went for $230. :( oh well, missed that one.

i have only about 10 hours worth of tapes, so i could definitely do the work in a day. is it that inexpensive to rent a deck? i live in NYC so i should have no problem finding a studio or equipment house.

once i get it to WAV or AIFF i'm just going to edit it on my Mac using Sound Studio - nothing fancy. in fact, just last night i transferred a VHS tape to disk and made wav's, mp3's, and a CD using just my PowerBook G4 (12"). sound quality is actually pretty damn good too, being an analog master (VHS HiFi is pretty respectable, it was made on a good Panasonic pro deck). i'll probably use a PC just to rip to disk since my mac doesn't have S/PDIF (unless i get a USB or FireWire adapter), then do the rest on mac.

cheers,
dorkus
