Evening all,
Got a nice haul of equipment today...aside from the TK50 issues and the smoking VT340
everything seems to be okay!
However:
                                                                            CARTRIDGE

HEAD 2 TOO LOW
and an error about it being unable to find calibration track 2 on the second drive lead me
to believe the drives may be faulty.   The leader isn't broken and I've reattached
it to the arm on the one where it had come off.
How would I do about cleaning one?   Are the drives bad and a cleaning wouldn't help?
(Yes, I tried multiple cartridges)
