Hello everyone.
Thank you for reading and for watching the linked video.
My new inherited 1986 macintosh plus was working great. I was playing some games on it which took me back to my childhood and upon exiting a game, the disk did not eject fully and a humming noise began at the same time. The disk will not eject and when I manually eject it the humming noise continues. No disk can be inserted into the drive anymore. It does not go down into the lower position. Would this be a simple cleaning issue or could it be those motor cogs which I've heard need to be replaced in certain cases.
Regards,
Rick
