Does the disk start spinning (does the motor rotor on the underside of
the drive spin)?
If you carefully move the heads towards the spindle with the machine
turned off (you can tilt the head assembly to free it from the
leadscrew), do they go back to cylinder 0 when you turn the machine on
and/or insert a disk (I am not sure when an Apple would do this)?
