On the output duct from the prefilter (the

it's in the clean air path from the filter to the cartridge. I am told
that draught excluder tape works here.
I wondered about that. OK, it has to go, too.
Also, on top of the RK05 PSU there's a NiCd
battery pack. It's there to
retract (and lift) the heads if the mains fails. It's nearly always dead
in old drives. Replace it. Fortunately it's the same as a common cordless
phone battery pack, so it's not hard to get a new one.
I knew about that one; I didn't mention it before because I just took it as
read that I'd need to replace it :-)
Thanks again for the advice. Now all I need is time to get at it -- maybe
this coming weekend.
