Possibly not. I'd copy them all to DW4 disk images before correcting the
drives just to be sure.
If the speed is off, that's easy to correct. But if the drives need
alignment, you'll need a dual trace scope, a Dysan Alignment diskette, and
the service manual for the drive.
It's not easy to do for someone who has never done it before.
Hopefully, a good head cleaning, and speed adjustment will work.

A question for all: if Spencer manages to calibrate the drives, will he
still be able to correctly read the floppies that are working ok now
that the drives are out of calibration?
