Google the PDFs 'Classic Mac Repair' and 'Dead Mac Scrolls', very handy. In the Classic Mac Repair, there is a section that goes over how to check the 5v and 12v lines which you can check from the external floppy connector. Adjusting is very easy, the adjustment is labeled on the white cardboard attached to the back of the analog board. Incorrrect voltage can cause these issues but its an easy check/fix if its that.

I think the drive gear breaking after the ozone treatment is just a coincidence as they are notoriously prone to crumbling away as the plastic weakens with age (the 800k drives especially so as the Plus was the first machine to use these). The lubrication in the eject carriage tray (that holds the disk) also gums up and gets lethargic over time, as does the grease around that cog in the eject gearbox. During disk ejection the entire strain of the mechanism is channelled directly through that one gear, hence the already weak part shatters. After breaking a number of these due to this I now re-lube the drive mechanism on any machine new to me as a matter of course. Even so, about I’ve probably replaced this gear in a touch over half of the 20ish drives I’ve repaired. I’m not actually convinced on the longevity of any drives I have still retaining the original gear! However, the 1.44MB drives in the SEHDFD, SE30 and LC series machines appear be much less prone to breaking. As these were unobtanium until fairly recently I say the person responsible for designing and 3D printing a perfect replacement copy of this gear deserves a beer!

EDIT: I WAS WRONG, basing my understanding on a mad French man I worked with in the 90s. Really should have known better! Sorry for ever doubting you peri. When you 'discharged' the CRT to the chassis, the chassis itself wasn't grounded so all you did was increase the risk of an electric shock and potentially frying the electronics. Chances are that the CRT had already discharged via a bleeder resistor, but if you had yanked the power lead whilst the CRT was on this may have had a less fortunate outcome. Next time, keep the power cable connected but switched off at the socket to ensure the chassis is properly earthed when you discharge a CRT. Getting zapped isn't always dangerous; it depends on the path the electricity finds through your body. e.g. If your left hand is grounded and your right hand is shocked, the charge will travel through your heart, which if you're unlucky can cause ventricular fibrillation (i.e. your heart stops).

Yeah, as much as people like to talk about the dangers of a CRT, the current is pretty low. Even if you DO get zapped the chances of it causing any serious injury are quite remote. I mean, YES, it IS effectively a giant capacitor that will store some charge for weeks after the machine is unplugged, but it's not the 'lethal' hazard it's made out to be. Meanwhile, attempting to discharge it carries a risk of it's own, since the tube contains a vacuum, and if you were to say scratch or otherwise damage the tube (the neck is especially fragile), it could implode, which would send shards of glass flying everywhere. CRT's do require some degree of caution. Also really, REALLY old ones (like the first ones that existed - pre 1900's even) produced X-rays, which is where all those old stories about 'sitting too close to the TV' being bad for you likely came from. So... Not as dangerous as it's sometimes presented, but still, use caution around CRT's...

That gear was resin 3D printed. No way a filament 3D printer could print so small.

Yes that was my mistake, since corrected in the description. I thought I had bought a regular filament printed part from fleaBay 👍🕹️

11/10 on the Pun-O-meter And link to the STL for the gear? Can’t hurt to change the capacitors ... May work may be easier to see the amperage draw to the drive during normal operation and clicky operation.

Look at the capatitor at 13:59, the top one is broken of on the side, i see a gap there.

You may want to replace the capacitors. They may look fine, but considering the heat they sustain during operation, and their age that actually breaks the rubber-bakelite seals on the capacitor itself. A manufacturer[ELNA - elna.co.jp/en ] states that the current products' seals are guaranteed only up to 15 years.

2:00 except that on this frame shot, it's not a SE. It's a Classic (1990) or Classic II. Can't read the writing but definitely that shape.

Great video! Fun to watch and very informative! Could you please post a link to the 3D model for the drive eject gear? I need to print one myself!

Thanks! Sorry, I thought you had made the gears yourself! The price seems reasonable, so I will likely just purchase those pre-made gears...
