Subject: SDX needs help

From: machinjohnny@...
Date: 2017-01-18

Hi All, I'm new to to group and could do with some suggestions for getting my SDX going. Im based in East London and am happy to pay for someone reliable to take a look at it. This is all with a view to selling/auctioning it once it's up and running. Any technical tips or talk of schematics are no use to a luddite like myself,sorry. The kit (in white) comprises of The Brain/BD/SD/HHat Pad/HHat Pedal/Toms x4/Cym Pads x2/Leads/Manual/Powersupply/System Hard Drive/Floppys x 2. It is apparently number six out of the factory.


After being in storage for years I had it serviced(it wasn't working when it went into storage over 10 years ago). The fella got it going (and provided a detailed list of all the work he'd done) and told me I needed a new hard drive for it. I found a new hard drive on Ebay with the operating system and library but can't get the SDX to see it. 


I'd like to get this sold - 1.So someone makes a noise on it-there doesn't seem much point to musical instruments that don't get played 2. I need the money, I've just bought a flat and it's in a right state. 


Any help is much appreciated,Johnny.
