In addition to what I already said Bill
You can try to turn the motor that moves the head to see if you have blockage or servicing
I remove all the support and lubrication

Let the heads dry for a time as the alcohol will eat your disk if there's any on the head, especdially old disks and I don't think there's many "new" ones around. If this doesn't work, then start trouble shooting the drive/controller.
