I had THE worst luck with Dolby encoders/decoders. Three outboard Teac units bit the dust and I couldn't find a tech who could fix them. Then I went with a Nakamichi NR-200 which did survive for a couple years but its insertion loss was too much for me. I ended up settling for the Teac A2300SD (Dolby) deck, which still works, and any Dolby-encoded tapes I really like are played on the Teac and dubbed to my Otari sans Dolby.

My luck with outboard dolby B decoders was similar to yours. Two different Teacs plus one other that I cannot remember the brand were all bad. It wasn't until Steve told me about what he was doing to the original dolby B devices and lent me his first mod that I realized how good the sound could get. I had him build me one and have used it to rip over 400 dolby B encoded R2R tapes, including over 300 of the Barclay-Crocker tapes (all to 192/24 using a Pacific Microsonics Model Two and Pyramic software with a Mykerinos card.)
Charlie King has had good success at getting those Dolby units to work. :(
