A good bang in the side with the heavy side of a screwdriver uses to work
flawlessly ;) (sometimes 2 or 3 bangs :D )

I have a couple of drives I would really like to
recover the data from.
On one of the two I've tried so far, the lowest head in the stack is
really stuck on.
Has anyone successfully unstuck a head from this era. I've tried the
obvious things
(gentle rotation in both axis, heating the platters) but there is a lot of
surface
area on those old heads and it is pretty badly stuck.
