Greetings folks. First time posting to this news group.
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.

Sometimes it just needs cleaning. I was taught on the black face which
is different in part. There was a way to get the machine drum heads to
spin without tape in the machine. Used some sort of special tech cloth
and cleaning fluid. I was told to wet the cloth and touch the spinning
drum lightly. You will hear the speed slow down a Long Hair">hair as you touch
it. Sometimes the white cloth will be black from dirt on the head and
the machine will work fine. If not is there a adat repair in Tampa FL?
It might be cheaper to buy a working machine than fix some of those
beast's. Lord I don't miss them one bit!!!! GT.
Here is a link to cleanning at your own risk!
