11X - 8 inch disk drive alignment ?

2004-06-20 by James Thomson

Hi Guys,

 I have two YE data 180 eight inch floppy drives in my CMI 11X. It seems
after cleaning them I have accidentally knocked the heads out of alignment.
I was so careful using some isopropyl alcohol and top quality cotton swabs
and yet it all went wrong. My advice... Don't even attempt to do a manual
cleaning of your drives. I would use a 8" floppy drive cleaning kit which is
done by wetting a cleaning disk and inserting into the drive.
 Where can I get these floppy drives realigned ? Many thanks !

Regards,
