	I have an Atari 810 Disk Drive that needed had its motor replaced.
	It now refuses to read any disk.  I believe it has either a speed
	problem (possibly a loose belt?) and/or an alignment problem.  The
	local service center is asking $55 plus parts to fix and $25 if I
	just want an estimate of what is needed to repair it.  Anyone know
	of a cheaper place, can do it themselves, can give me instructions,
	etc.?

	I will send the results of the responses to anyone who wishes.

	Thanks in advance,
