Another garage unit comes in from the cold to be tested and this one is a 1541 that seems responsive, seems to want to work, but alas, it will not spin!

It does hear commands, and the head bangs...but spin, it will not...but then again, when I turn it off, the drive does sort of move...just a little bit...

This look like a project...yes, yet another 1541 project!

I found this amazing reference online with tons of helpful tips about the 1541 and potential issues...

Bless you Ray Carlsen!!!

Here is the text but you might find it easier to read going to the link above...funny...I read through this pretty well, and nowhere did I find a hint as to what my issue might be...but if I figure it out, I will write to Ray and let him know what I find...if it is something that I think would be helpful...update...I did paste the text here...but I was told by YouTube that my description was too long...go to the link for the text and great enlightenment!
