SAMS publishes a technical manual on the 154[0,1,2] disk drives.

In the manual are two techniques for alligning the drive. One requires
a scope, and the oyther requires a DVM. I use the DVM method to allign
my drive, and it seems to work well.

Also included is a strobe wheel, that yoyu can xerox and attach to the
motor's flywheel. Hold it under a flourescent light, and you can adjust
the motor's speed.

I got my manual at Walden Books.
