I'm working on one of my Franklin disk drives today. It has a slight tracking problem and when you're working with16 sectors per track on 35 tracks (360k) you want to be as precise as possible. The adjustment is simple enough but must be done very carefully and the outer shell of the drive must be removed to do this. The drives are second generation Apple II compatibles and are nearly all metal in construction so are quite heavy. Feels like somewhere between six and eight pounds. You'd have no problem busting a windshield with one of these things. Now it's adjusted and working perfectly.
The little blue square with the white dot is the piece I to turn to make the adjustment.
