RX02 Repair

I've been trying to bring my old RX02 drive back to life, with little
success.

I just received a good bootable floppy, and get the same results as with all
my old disks, so now I'm looking for hardware problems.

On a PDP-11/03, With RXV21 controller, and an RX02 drive, the RX02
initializes, attempts to read the boot block, and crashes to ODT at 000600.

Does anyone have any RX02 diagnostics, or hardware trouble shooting tips?
