Repairing and Servicing a 3" Floppy Disk Drive

Support Noel's Retro Lab on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NoelsRetroLab Featuring a mummified disk drive belt and creating a write-protection pin on the fly. This is the procedure I recommend for repairing and tuning up 3" drives. This drive comes from an Amstrad CPC 6128, but 3" floppy disk drives are also found in other computers like the Spectrum +3 or the Amstrad PCW and the same applies to all of them. Amstrad CPC RPM measuring program: http://www.amstradtoday.com/resur/rpm.zip On Spectrum +3 press BREAK on startup for firmware tests, which include measuring RPM.
