I'm not saying that ANY RL02/RX02 combo will have
this issue, but mine
clearly does. And it isn't cables. I do have to disagree with you on one
point, the top of the RL02 logic sure doesn't appear well shielded to me.
Mine aren't either.
With regards to the RX02 - the left drive works fine,
the right drive
has never worked. I will try Tony's suggestion tomorrow and see if that
confirms the diagnosis. But when I can move a metal sheet between the
drives and cause/fix the problem, I'm pretty sure I know what is causing
it. So if Alison has this same set up and it's "solid" for her, why is
it not for me?
Does your RX02 have a metal cover under each drive unit, or can you see
the motor and the belt if you look underneath? Mine have anodised
aluminium alloy covers which are folded around the bottom of each drive
unit, and presumably are an effective shield. I've seen drives where
those have been lost, though.
What's wrong with the right hand drive? Does it spin? I've had one
with a siezed bearing, fixed by careful application of releasing oil,
elbow grease, and then proper lubrication. If it spins, does it clamp
the disk properly? I've had three with broken collets.
