Jim,
I would ask on here:-

https://groups.google.com/d/forum/mfm-discuss

to see if any one has one of these

https://www.pdp8online.com/mfm/mfm.shtml

which will image an MFM disk so you are not re-reading and probably damaging 
your original, an can then analyse the content at your leisure

Dave
