I have a TQ2026F, and would like to know how much you paid for the dropout compensator. I'm annoyed at the amount of dropouts, which can vary from nil to unacceptable, especially if the animation has a large, solid background. (Black backgrounds are the worst! Every little thing shows) I know these recorders we have are old, and I figure few places still perform the mod, if any; but I'd still like to know if the price is in the $500 range, or the $5000 range. <g>

Charles – interesting. Mine is a 2023F and it CAME with the dropout compensator (switchable) installed by the distributor I p u rchased from. You are right about the big solid areas causing most problems. The compensator isn't perfect but it catches most of 'em. I don't know who performs the mod or for how much. Want my 2023F? It IS for sale – CHEAP! I wrote some nifty ARexx control scripts for it I'll t hrow in. See my longer message under section 17, Classifieds.
