As per the title, I just picked up a faulty external 400k floppy drive that was being detected but ultimately wasn't reading or writing disks.
After I opened the drive I noticed the fault - the small felt pressure pad was missing, meaning the disk isn't making good contact with the head.
I know there is a replacement on ebay, but after shipping and import tax is taken into consideration it would cost about £40 just for a piece of felt.
Does anyone know where I could find one or if there is an alternative?
