Pulled the air filter on this unit. Completely plugged with brown/black
junk, I can't believe much air was going through. So it's possible that
the heads were in a partial vacuum and couldn't fly?
Off to find a fresh RL02 filter from Amazon. :-)

I don't believe there should be any contact to make any "wear" affect
the head. It may have been damaged if you're talking one of the heads
you cleaned up. But heads should never really contact the drive on
these types of heads.
Thanks Jim: The problem was happening before I removed the head

Took a look at the top of the RL02 pack. There is a fine layer of white

Also, looking at the head under a loupe I can see
Interesting. Ok, then there is something interesting going on: The head
was clean, the pack was clean and working (haven't tried it yet in the
other RL02) and yet 1 second in there was a lot of debris on the leading
edge of the head. Looks like it was taking off the top of the oxide
layer on th

So one of my RL02 drives (bought on Ebay years ago) is eating RL02
packs. Makes tings, then the disks have errors in my other RL02 drive.
Took a bit to figure out which drive was eating what, but I'm 100%

Took a bit to figure out which drive was eating what, but I'm 100%
certain it's this newer drive.
So pulled the heads. The top one had significant gunk on i
