Greetings,

Can anyone advise what components control the speed in an Atari 810 disk drive? Wait, before you answer, I have tried to adjust the little green potentiometer box on the power board. This works, but the speed is still unstable and the at the closest I can get it wanders at least +/- 6rpm, between 182-194 rpm, while my other 810 only wanders +/- 0.5rpm (188-188.5 rpm)

I replaced the power board with a brand new one, and have tried several power supplies. I replaced the drive mechanism with a brand new one. I lubricated the spindle and motor parts too.

Before I go any further, I am hoping that someone may know what would cause unstable speed. Side board? Analog board? Data separator?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Crash!
