Advice on Lisa 2 restoration

The metal eject mechanism comes off easily (four screws=20 motor), so you can easily=20 I wouldn't put 'Wanton Destruction 40' anywhere near the floppy drive (or any other aprt of a classic computer). The stuff we get in the UK contains some quite long-chain waxy hydrocarbons whcih will gum things up after a short while. I've never worked on a Lisa drive, but I've worked on plenty of the Sony full-heigfht 3.5" drives, singel and double head, in HP units. They are similar mechancially to the Lisa drive. Some of the odler eject mechansims will come totally apart (the levers are held on with E-circlips), which makes cleaning a lot easier. The later ones are riveted, so you can just rmeove the springs, soak the assmebly in solvent, then work the parts back and forth and wipe off the old grease as it appears. I find propan-2-ol (isporpanol) woeks well? for this. There are some photos in my flickr acocunt (tony_duell I think, but searching for HP9820 will find it) which show a Sony double-head drive stripdown. Your drive is similar. -tony
