I have like 3 or 4 Mac 400k drives (2 external units, and 2 internal) Is someone here adept at cleaning the old grease and re-greasing these drives?
Here's the systems I need them for: Mac 512K - Internal drive & External Drive - Clean and Lube Mac 128K - Swap 800K Internal Drive & Replace with 400K drive from Mac Plus, plus clean and lube External Drive.
My Mac 128K has the original mainboard, but has a 1MB RAM Expansion board sitting on top of the main board, and likely updated ROM to support the 800k Floppy drive.
I also have 3 or 4 800k drives that also need to be cleaned and lubed. While it is probably something I could do myself, I've never had good luck when trying to refurbish floppy drives, so I'm looking to find someone who could do it for me.
Thanks,
Joe
