Subj: TPDD2 ONLY READS HALF-WAY CROSS THE DISK

Greetings Fellow Model-T'ers,
 
Have posted a variation of this msg before, so hope you regulars don't mind a  
repeat... it's been my experience I can hit a new audience by waiting a few  
weeks and trying again!
 
I have an ailing TPDD2... the arm moves only about halfway across the diskette
window and then stops. I can access files that are in the outer sectors but  
not the inner ones.
 
Also, when formatting, similar thing occurs: arm only goes about halfway,  
stops, and goes back to starting position.
 
Rick suggested a thorough cleaning, and gave some very good tips on how to do  
that, but so far to no avail. I may try again when I get in good Zen... like  
Rick says, you wanna be in a good mood when you take one of these puppies  
apart. Have some coffee and good friends nearby! 
 
But as I say, by posting this again, who knows, I may hit someone who says to  
himself or herself... "Hey, same thing happened to me, and all I had to was  
move this little whizbangie, and bingo!"
 
Here's hoping, and TIA,
 
 ... Paul
