Help with Shugart SA801 8" floppy with 230v 50 cycle motor...

Hi In my earlier days, a friend had just the same problem. We took a file to the pully on motor shaft. We just turned it with the motor running. We did have to elongate the mounting holes on the frame. I suspect the the 50/60 cycle change had a different flywheel and pully or belt. Don't think of tape or something on the flywheel. The disk read is very sensitive to the slightest roughness on the surface of the flywheel. On old machines that I get, there is often tarnish and oxide on the flywheel. I usually clean and polish this before I expect the drive to work properly. The friend did use the SA800 for several years until he moved on to a PC.
