It started doing that all on its own without being touched.  I'm pretty
sure it was trying to spin too.  I think something went out and was
trying to make it spin all the time.  I may have another one out in the
shed but I'm not sure.  I may have a old junk rig but I don't know
whether they work or not.  I'm also not sure I have any floppies either.

I'm just full of issues on this one.  lol

Thanks to all for the replies.  I'll give those tools a try.
