Alesis ADAT XT 20 - How reset the PG setting for Alesis ADAT XT20?

[StefanJozPOLAND]

My name is Stefan from POLAND, sick man 74 year old. Please help me. Many years ago I bought in Chicago Alesis ADAT XT20. I have two questions a) how reset the PG (factory number PG is 1307) for Alesis ADAT XT 20 (tape S-VHS ST-126) and b) where I can buy the head for Alesis ADAT XT20 (in Poland young man was clining the head in up-down way and broken one from four small part-'cewka in polish language; should clining left-right). Thank you for your time.

There are plenty of places to buy ADAT Tapes - https://www.analogtapes.com/category/adat - aas for Heads you can buy them on Ebay like this person https://reverb.com/item/40766103-alesis-adat-xt-fostex-cx-8-replacement-headstack - but in the long run it probably is cheaper to buy a whole unit - most likely it would the same as just the head.

I guess it's been too long. What is this PG number you want to reset?

You can reset the PG setting by performing the following tasks:

Step	Procedure
1	Without a tape in the XT, lift the transport door and shine a flashlight into the unit. Notice the sticker on the back panel, to the right. Next to the field "PG" is a hand-written number — the PG value set by the factory technician. Write this number down.
2	Turn the XT on while holding down track buttons 1 & 7. The display will read "0 SHIP *"
3	Press PITCH UP three times. The display will read "3 P9 dLY *"
	Press PLAY, the * will disappear, indicating that the PG Delay diagnostic has been initiated.
4	Press and hold PITCH UP or PITCH DOWN until the PG value agrees with the number written on the sticker inside the unit.
5	Once that value has been reached, press and hold the EJECT button, then press REC to save the PG value. The display will then read "3 P9 dLY *"
6	Press the EJECT button once more and the XT will enter its normal operation mode.
7	Tapes recorded during the time when PG was improperly set should be backed up onto a new tape, AFTER the PG is reset, in order to preserve the audio without errors.
