if the drive decided to stop working.. maybe from a moving part either the needle or motor.. you can have the hard disks platters switched (in a clean room).. cost is about 1500$.. good business to get into

Yea - I looked into it and got an outrageous quote like that as well. As good as the track was, not sure that the steep pricetag would be worth it...
Thanks though!

I've also heard freezing the drive overnight and hooking it up to a external drive enclosure may work.. . np
