Hi,
I imagine the process of cleaning an RK05 drive would
be very similar.
Basically remove ALL the dust and then put it back together. Has anyone
experience in cleaning an RK05 drive? I have one that was left open for
several years before the machine was decommissioned.
I got a very dirty one. Too dirty to touch...... I "defoamed" it using a
vacuum cleaner. Then I cleaned everything I could easily reach using a
wet cloth from the kitchen. So the drive still looks not too nice
inside. The heads were cleaned with IPA and "kitchen roll". Running
nicely....
Take care of foam residues and dirt in the air filter outlet. Keep in
mind that almost all dirt and dust that is not on the heads or in the
air filter outlet can be ignored.... Pure cosmetics.
