I recently acquired one of these old full-height voice coil MFM drives, but the faceplate was completely missing, and one of the resistors that normally sits behind the faceplate has been destroyed by whatever it was that impacted the faceplate. The repair manual scan on bitsavers is nearly useless thanks to how bad the scan quality is, and mechanically, the drive isn't seized and doesn't seem to have any noticeable stiction when I rotated the spindle a little by hand.
The 5v rail is also shorted to ground, but that's not as big of a concern since it's likely just a capacitor somewhere that's gone bad. My main issue is with the missing resistor since I do not know what value it is meant to be.
