TASCAM ATS-500 Synchronizer COMPLETE KIT - Ultra-Rare Accessory 2 Cables, Original Manual & PS-P2 PSU - Turnkey Dual Tape Sync Setup!

Attention Analog Tape Enthusiasts, Cassette Culture Producers, and Vintage Studio Restorers:

If you have been hunting for the missing link to expand your analog tracking setup, you know exactly what you are looking at. This is a highly sought-after, production-ready Tascam ATS-500 SMPTE/Timecode Tape Transport Synchronizer.

While standalone, bare units occasionally pop up online as useless metal boxes, finding a complete, functional ecosystem is a true "hen's teeth" scenario. This listing is a 100% turnkey bundle that contains the rare, proprietary components required to actually use the machine out of the box.

As showcased in the main bundle photo, this unit has been well cared for in a smoke-free studio environment.

Proven Track Record: The Tascam 238 Multi-Track Link

This specific unit has a flawless real-world pedigree. It was personally utilized in a high-end tracking system to flawlessly lock two Tascam 238 8-Track Cassette Decks together in sample-accurate synchronization. By striping SMPTE timecode to Track 8 of both machines, this ATS-500 allowed them to chase, phase-lock, and operate as a unified, mind-blowing 14-track analog cassette tracking powerhouse. It can also be used to sync other classic Tascam multi-tracks (like the TSR-8, MSR-16, or MSR-24) or to bridge your vintage tape machines directly to a modern computer DAW timeline.

🦄 The Ultimate "Unicorn" Package Accessories Included:

• The Extinct Accessory 2 Cables: These are the original, proprietary DB15 multi-pin interface cables. They are completely out of print and nearly impossible to find standalone. Tracking down a pair of these on the open market or attempting to custom-solder them yourself is an absolute nightmare. They are the actual gold in this listing.
• Original Tascam PS-P2 AC Adaptor: Factory original power supply, fully tested, safe, and operational. No sketchy third-party wall warts here.
• Original Factory Owner’s Manual: An original paper manual, preserving all original routing schematics, dip-switch configuration guides, and classic 90s Tascam troubleshooting steps.

🔍 Condition & Physical Specs:

• Front Panel: The faceplate is in beautiful cosmetic condition with vibrant orange Tascam lettering, crisp buttons, and a clean LCD glass window frame.
• Rear I/O Sockets: The back panel is clean. The RCA timecode ports, the vital Master/Slave Accessory multi-pin connections, and the configuration dip switches are all intact and solid.
• Authenticity: This is a genuine vintage unit, Serial No. 89043, proudly stamped "Made in Japan" on the original factory underside label.
