Fixing 8" disk hubs

Stupid question.... Is the Diskette still good ? Do the disks still spin fee in their jackets? Or do they have stiction ? I had that problem long ago and ended up cutting the disk out of the bad disk jacket and putting it in a good diskette jacket. It spun up, I got my data off and trash both diskettes. Something got inside the diskette or just died in there that made it stick. An slit down the side worked well, to get my data out intact. I recovered a floppy that had been bent and was binding that way too. I both cases they did not spin correctly in an otherwise good drive. 8"floppies were not designed as long life, long term storage. :) BTW I had a drive do that and swapping the upper hub and spring fixed it. On close inspection the plastic cone side of the hub was cracked and did not transfer the force to the rim of the disk. Just my thoughts Good luck... Bob Bradlee
