That's my take on it, from the sound.

I gotta
strip the RX02 I've been using. It squeals like a little
girl at power-up, and I want to catch that before it doesn't squeal
anymore....
Most of the time when an RX01/2 makes nasty noises, it's dry bearings
on
the spindle motor. It probably took me longer to type this than it does
to do the repair!
Thanks, Tony! It's going to be the weekend before I can do it, but
I'm printing your post as I type this.
More than any other brand, it seems that DEC stuff is dead simple to
service if you know how, and impossible if you're playing by ear.
