I have made available to everyone a replacement gear for 400k/800k (internal or external) floppy drives. this is to replace the tiny (smallest) gear of the eject mechanism which breaks over time. I have tested and works great!

Comes in a set of 4 identical gears, repair up to four drives!

I love this--old tech meets new. I have no need of it myself (yet), but love that you've provided it, so thanks!

little correction, your gear should work with most of the (800k / 2M) Sony Auto-Inject , Eject Assembly.

Not 400k drives, those are going to be something different.

I love it.

I need a [SIZE=10pt]Rear Panel Plate Apple part 815-0986[/SIZE]

for my SE/30 but have no dimensions of an original plate to do a CAD drawing.

I just searched eBay and found that they carry these plates for about 18 bucks.
