I have just purchased an RL02 and while waiting for it to arrive, I am wondering what to
do for cleaning and lubrication before power-up. I don't know how long it's been
sitting (indoors). I have downloaded the manual from bitsavers. I know there has been some
discussion on this list recently but I think that was on the care and feeding of
RK05's...
Also, the seller tells me he can't get the pack out:
When I had the disk pack cover off, the release handle
on the pack did
not release the disks and I did not want to force it. Does the drive
need to be powered on and is there a way to remove them without powering
it on?
He does know about the shipping screws and will install them before Fedexing.
So, what should I do first?
thanks for any assistance.
