Re: sx64 repair / C=Key

Frank from ECS who was the Commodore certified tech in Mpls/St. Paul swore by using a piece of paper no rougher than calculator paper that he wet with isopropyl alcohol to polish the read/write head in a circular motion.  He also said to use the same alcohol to clean the rails that the head rides upon - the use greaseless lubricant to lube the rails.
