Series/1 noisese and failures... 4967 dead?

Well, without changing the blower motor or fuses, I plugged in my newly
rewired 4967 hard drive. I turned it on, the power supply made that
electrical buzzing noise that big PS's do(and a 220v motor in the
background running at half speed), then the drive started to spin up. Is
there a miniaturized jet plane in there? ;-) Anyways, it starts up(power
light comes on), and then after about 10-15 seconds there is a clunk sound
and the drive kinda shuts down until it tries again about 20 seconds
later(or maybe because I turned on the CPU). I'm not quite sure what ti
think. I haven't bothered taking it apart yet(too much work to get the
PS/controller unit off). Anyone have any ideas, or know someone who would?
