Hi all I have a Roland SC545ex I purchased with clogged dx4 heads. I cleaned the heads with a sonic cleaner using Branson EC Electronic Solution (circuit card sonic cleaning solution). Although it seems it was a success, the ser. no. was cleaned off. Will versa-works tell me the ser. no. of the...

I would be cautious with the legal aspect. In Texas I don’t think you can use text messages as a a legal document. I had clients that only wanted $1500 of work, and I like to think they were impressed with my work and gave me additional jobs. $15,000 later they wanted to argue on the price. I...

Thank you, if I had another DX4 head that I knew was working I could troubleshoot that way unfortunately I would have to buy a new one which is 500 then the boards are anywhere from 500 to 1000. And I’m cautious to use eBay to get a used one. Thank you for your input though I appreciate it.
