Just recently a friend of mine picked up a used Alesis Adat xt with the dreaded error 7 out of the box. I have a good knowledge of electrical circuits(20 plus years). Have done the usual searches on the net, an have alot of things to check.  my question, anyone out there have a service manual for this bugger.  Any help greatly appreciated. Service manual is still available from Alesis for a reasonable fee.  The expensive part is the alignment tape set which you will have to buy from them in order to do the regular cleaning and alignment work. Eddie Ciletti may still have some information on his page about working on those machines and he is a really good resource for general questions on repairing them. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
