You know,

the more research I do, the more I find that 90% of problems with floppy drives are mechanical in nature (IE cleaning and lubing). I am going to tear into these things and clean them thoroughly, including using more than just air on the heads. It's possible that a thin layer of oxidation is what's causing the inconsistency in head reading. I plan on using alchohol.

Anyone have a good guide for doing this properly?
