I encourage anyone in this hobby to read the stories arround Fastrand.
Not sure how much is true or exaggerations, but it's a fun read.

Ahhh, Fastrand rings a bell ... that's Sperry isn't it?
I will google for that and for "walking disks" this evening.
Must be interesting.   I used to work on Sperry 1100/63.

Yeah, I have three RM03 drives. I cleaned the first one, but after
powering up, the lid remains locked. I have not (yet) investigated it.
