Hi everyone!
I'm thinking of buying another LX20 for my studio (I have two at the moment) to expand my recording setup to 24 tracks. The ADAT im thinking of buying has 1100 hours on its drum head timer. I have some questions for ADAT tape machine users on cleaning and service on these machines:
Thank you!

- How often do you clean the head?
- How often do you clean the rubber parts, and do I use the same alcohol on them as on the head (99%)?
- Will I need to service the tape transport on a machine over 1000 hours?
- What's a reasonable price for an LX20 with 1000 hours on its head?
- Is it very important that the ADAT I'm buying has the same firmware version as the ones I own? How do I update the firmware version?
Thank you!
