I had suggested a hair-dryer, as recommended circa 20 years ago for drive
"stiction" after disuse. It seems that worked.

I have simply opened and physically moved the disk counter clockwise a
turn, in a clean dust-free place. Or try putting in an oven on warm for 3
minutes a side, all four sides to loosen the grease. Might sound crazy but
these have worked for me before

20+ years ago, I remember people talking about disassembling these to fix the
issue. I’ve never tried. Though I have one or two that might benefit from is.
If the CLASSICCMP archives from ’97-2000 are online, I’d recommend running a
search against them.

Got most of the data. About 300 bad sectors, most of which are on head

Right now I'm reading that 1525 disk, sometimes you get only one try in
this game. Head 3 is not happy, but it is getting some of the data on
retries. When done I'll put the image up for Ian to take

Are you taking pictures of the inventory and posting them somewhere?
Ok, so out of the basement came a Micrapolis 1325 (the old Dec RD53
disk) with what appears to be stuck heads. Rotor tries to move under
power but can only take out slack. Will move backwards a bit.
Is this stuck head, and what would be the best way to free it? The

No problem with stopping the stupid wife stuff, but this is an important
issue: Cleaning out basement hoards like this is *NOT* easy, and if you
have one make plans now for when you die.
