Manual for BASF6105 8inch Flp drive

Hi Chuck, Thank you for the hints. I have a NEC FD1165 which looks different to the BAS6105. Haven't opened the Basf 6105 yet. I'll try to make some pictures to show the differences. The NEC FD1165 is a nice drive. I took it from my Apollo DN300 drive shoebox. No belt mechanism running with 220V/110V. It worked quite some time perfectly. No read errors like my Shugart 851 in reading disks from 1985. But the suddenly the NEC stopped working caused by a rubber part which turned into glue. That glue locked the head mechanism. I remove that glue. Heads are going down again but now I get read errors. Here's a guy from Japan with the same problem (pls. look a image 7) : http://www.geocities.jp/tangoorisyoku/ku__page/ku_cgs/98_mente/8inch_FD1165A /1165A_mente.html I hope to find some time to look at the NEC1165 service manual to perhaps check the head alignement with a scope. The manual shows a procedure how to do that. I don't have an alignement floppy. I hope good floppy from my stock might work.
