That's a good tip I never knew about! Here I was looking up Apple part numbers! Start with isopropyl alcohol on a Q tip to clean the drive head. Do some searches on this site for troubleshooting info. Those 400K drives are built like tanks, so other than lubrication, I have rarely had problems...

Do note that the contacts on the flyback may be spaced differently, but the plus analog board should have a ring of contacts for either size.

It looks like your 128k still has the original 64K ROM set, despite the RAM upgrade. It was pretty typical to upgrade to the Mac Plus ROMs when doing this upgrade, aligning with cheesestraw's theory that this was an early upgrade (before the Mac Plus arrived). Without knowing the error you are...
