I have the service manual for the single-head model and an unofficial

stripping that down), I have all I need :-)
Electroncially, they're quite different (and there are 2 versions of the
double head PCB that I've seen -- FC9 and FC16 IIRC). The single-head PCB
is quite unconventional in some areas, there's a matching transformer
betwee nthe head and the read amplifer, for example. The double-head one
is more normal.
Thanks for asking, thouygh.

As an aside, this is a major problem on the
full-height Sony 3.5" drives.
Do you have the service manual? I was just about to upload it since it is part
of the Apricot service manual.
