> Hi all, long time listener, first time caller.
>
> Just a couple queries concerning my SDSV:
>
> I have a repeating tom.  I understand this is not uncommon?  When I power 
> on, the tom
> module in question won't revert to the factory setting like the others and 
> maintains a
> steady  constant repeating, the speed of which changes if I press the 
> memory buttons on
> both it and the adjacent tom module (which works though the buttons on 
> that one seem
> slightly misaligned/recessed).  I've never opened it, but if it's a 
> moderately easy fix I'd
> rather take care of it myself.  Actually, any general maintenance tips or 
> things to watch out
> for would be immensely appreciated.
>
> I'd also like to get opinions on the overall roadworthiness of the unit. 
> I'm going to start
> doing shows with it, and I'm having a flight case made, but I need to get 
> a consensus (and
> horror stories!) from those who regularly tour with one.  Also, any 
> recommendations for
> taking fragile gear overseas.  I've had some things just destroyed by 
> airlines (in ATA flight
> cases, no less) so I'm reluctant to check it as baggage.  Should I ship it 
> overseas and just
> drive to all the shows?
>
> Thanks in advance!
