** Hi,


a regular customer with a PA hire business owns an ADAT machine ( black face) and some VHS cassettes of live performances he made in the 1990s.

The dragged out the tapes recently and they played OK for a while but now he gets the "error 7" message.

Has he got any chance of successfully cleaning the heads and playing his nostalgia tapes or is he kidding himself ?

We know about the various dire warnings and to ONLY use a no longer available 3M cleaning tape.


BTW:

I am curious about how ADAT 8 track digital works but Google does not turn up much. I understand the transport is basically VHS with everything going at three times normal speed.
