Prior to today it was last cleaned three or four weeks ago. Today it
was cleaned three times because after each time I attempted to check
the factory slt tape the clean drive light came on. I infer from
this and the previous failure in a different DDS unit that the tape
is delaminating and that the ferrite particles are coming adrift.
