Alesis XT-20 ERROR

[Pianoman]

I'm not sure, I just really need to make some backups in case anything happens to these. It would be a challenge to replace any one of these shows unfortunately
I'm going to keep my best in their boxes until I get this worked out, until then it's sacrificial tapes only.

Pianoman has a dirty tape head as far as I can tell, and we are taking steps to get him where he can clean it.

A good cleaning got my Alesis running again! It was absolutely filthy. It took me a good hour of cleaning and some major focus to get it clean. The heads themselves weren't terrible, but they were pretty bad which is why I kept getting my error. There was just lots of junk in general black fuzz coated lots of the rollers and the audio head was pretty desperate for a cleaning as well. It's practically spotless now! Thanks to Steve for the cleaning instructions and materials references.

I think it is about time for some vidoes then...

Alright alright. I've been waiting till I can setup somewhere and get some fog going. Right now it wouldn't be that impressive. It's projecting in close quarters, like 15' feet. I'm looking for a large auditorium that will let me setup for a few hours. I'll get some videos up soon.
