needs more than a cleaning tape. I know there is a thing in the datheads archive about it. Is it as easy as it sounds/reads??
Yep, it is. Hardest part for me was figuring out which screws to take off to remove the shell, but other than that, easy going. :)
cool.
Can someone post a link --- man, I can't find it. Thanks :-[
Here's a terrific link I found a while back. It doesn't have anything specific to the DA-20, but has a boatload of info on various problems that home decks have:

Thanks alot, greenone.........lot of good stuff at that link. Removing the shell exposes the head and guides, then? I think I'll give it a try. :D

DA 20 is very easy to open. If you have those rack side plates off ( 2 big screws each) , its just 3 screws in the back to get the cover off. I'm not sure of how to clean it other than a cleaning tape, but I use one of those compressed air cans to get dust out once in a while.
Thanks again....just the little bit of confidence I needed to try this ;)
