I accidentally posted this in the vcwiki hardware forum which nobody seems to read
I powered up a Miniscribe 2012 which at first didn't spin up then seemed to have varying speed but now steady and the spindle bearing noise seems to have become less.
It did eventually prep and pass a media test with a few bad sectors on a Zenith Z100. If I can find access to the spindle bearings without opening the platter housing,
would it be advisable to try and put a drop of light oil on it ? Or any other home remedies ?
