I had our Sony SDT-5000 cleaned and re-aligned for $250.00 about 6 months ago, and just this weekend she started to be weird again; hanging the SCSI when writing to the tape, but reading works fine. Back in 11/95, they estimated normal repairs to cost $285, and major repairs to cost $412. Considering the drive is worth about $700 I think these repair numbers are high. --mark.
