I gather that this is the best C128 forum, but what is the best/most popular C64 forum, please?

What is the best way for me to diagnose the problem, given that there are a number of possibilities? Thanks.
First try a drive cleaning kit if you have one. If you don't have one, rubbing alcohol and a q-tip will work but you will have to open the drive to get to the head. The 1571D drive in my 128T throws fits if I try to use a highly degraded old floppy. If I clean the head, it works again.
I'd recommend a 1541 for trying to read failing old floppies.

Four out of the five D's I've had have all had floppy failure (all fixable though) - most common problem I have with my Commie machines.
