I meant that I have experienced welding of the heads. I haven't seen rusting, though
I could believe that it's possible -- the platter looks like it's been blued like
old style firearms.

Hm. I know we had that exact problem in college with an RS11 disk (on our RSTS system).
That required replacing the heads, platter, and I think motor. So did one you bid over $1500?
Not me. $1k would have been my limit, it's really kind of insane to run something
like that. As I put on my old memory hat I remember that the platter would rust but at
least the heads would not weld to the platter.
