Florescent lights also work, you can generally see the black and reddish 
pattern wobbling around.  If the pattern turns a full turn (backwards=slow, 
forwards=fast) in under 10 seconds, and its a belt drive, the belt may be 
slipping.  Occasionally one can find the speed pot and turn it up to 
compensate but it generally won't last that long.  Belts?  No clue where to 
find _fresh_ ones today.

The only 5.25 that spins at 360 is the 96 tpi's that claim 1.2 meg 
capacity.  Everything else spins at 300.

Cheers, gene
