Subject: Looking for Tandon TM-703C information

Hello -

     I've been "gifted" with a TM-703C.

     On applying +12 and +5, the motor refuses to spin up even though
the brake solenoid pulls in.  On placing a pencil against the rotor, I
can feel some vibration but there is no tendency for it to spin.  I
think one of the power transistors in the motor drive circuit may be
blown.

     Before I think too much about sending it out for repair, I'd like
to know if it's worth it... So:

       Does anyone have a list of drive parameters for this thing?
Number of heads, number of cylinders, reduced-write-current point,
precompensation track number, that sort of thing.  The real win would
be in finding the unformatted/formatted drive capacity.

Thanks for your time -
