SONY 55ES DAT machine - service

Postby TimS » Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:19 pm

Does anyone here service these DATs locally (Sydney)?
I have one that I picked up that needs to be checked over and have a new tape door mechanism.

I used to repair DAT machines on a daily basis....but it's been a while now ....

but i know the company in Adelaide who still have the expertise .... and the very expensive alignment tapes. They are also sony agents so can access spares if needed. Be warned though, DAT repair can sometimes be expensive

let me know if that is any use, i can arrange this for you
