Wasn't there a bad batch of sony dats a while back?  What were the symptoms?  Seems like I have at least 1 dropout a show.  Loaned Ryan a couple of them and he is having the same problem.

Anybody have them by any chance?  I didn't have much luck on oade.

Try searching the old Oade Bros Tech forum for "bad batch" (without quotes).
