[net.micro] Where can I get an 8 inch disk drive repaired?

[gronnnnnnnk!]

	My 8" DSDD Shugart floppy drive keeps getting
read errors from side 1, the upper head.
I swapped P.C. boards with the other drive, and the problem persists.
Ohmmeter readings show the head to be okay, no faulty wires or
connectors.

	I cleaned and re-cleaned the heads with trichlorotrifluoroethane
and foam swabs.  Visual inspection with dental mirrors shows nothing
unusual.  No scratches.  No broken spring mountings.

	I see little else to do but to have the drive repaired
professionally.  Where can I do this?  Has anybody ever sent a drive
to be repaired?  And no, Radio Shack is not an acceptable answer.

P.S.  I don't have an oscilloscope nor easy access to one,
so I can't replace and align the head myself.
