@altomare@oldbytes.space And yet... I once hand-aligned an RK-05 platter. I loosened the six screws at the hub, slid the platter a little bit, retightened them, and iterated until the read errors stopped. No clean room, no mad skillz, just good luck.

@kbob@chaos.social I hope I'll have your luck. I was reading this documentation because I might be able to get a PDP8/E with a TU56 tape drive and a RK05. I don't think the rusty hard drive will ever work again but one can hope.
