Hi folks,
here are some videos and pictures I took when operating an RK05f completely open with the
exposed.
Hope you like it!

And keep in mind: I did this for curiosity and the whole thing only lasted a few minutes.
The disk
is back in the plastic shroud and nothing has been ruined. In fact the drive was still not
100%
perfectly adjusted while I shot the stuff on the page. In the clips the drive performs
part of the
DEC maindec drive control test. I had a lot of trouble finding out the servo system's
weakest
part.... Now I managed the drive to run reliable and to be able to retract the heads
properly (seems
to be not so uncommon problem!).
Best wishes,
Philipp
