20+ years ago, I remember people talking about disassembling these to fix the issue. I?ve
never tried. Though I have one or two that might benefit from is. If the CLASSICCMP
archives from ?97-2000 are online, I?d recommend running a search against them.

Ok, so out of the basement came a Micrapolis 1325 (the old Dec RD53 disk) with what
appears to be stuck heads. Rotor tries to move under power but can only take out slack.
Will move backwards a bit.
Is this stuck head, and what would be the best way to free it? The reason I'm asking
is this disk had a SA1000 adapter mounted under it so I am pretty sure it was a PERQ disk.
Which means data may be priceless. And of course it's stuck.
Thoughts?
