Hello Guys,
Tradde generously gave me a 19" rack and two RL02's. I don't have a PDP yet, so I can't spin them up, but we did plug them in to AC at his house just to see what they did. One appeared to power up okay, while the other one buzzed fairly loud. Any ideas where to start checking? I got the tech manual from bitsavers, but don't really know where to start as I've never opened one of these up before.
I spun the rear fan manually and it's free, as well as the spindle motor inside. Could it be something in the power supply? I haven't powered it up again, as I'm afraid doing so might damage something if there's a short somewhere.
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
