Closeup of A500 floppt drive innards

[borat]

Hi,

Would anyone here be able to take a picture of the inside of an A500 floppy drive? just the motor and shaft of the bit that moves the read/write head up and down.

I'm trying to fix my broken drive.

thanks if you can help

I think the head moving mechanism on mine is gone bad. The head moves freely backwards (to the back of the drive) but then it doesn't seem to be able to move forward again

If I move it with my fingers, the head slides along the shaft quite easily. On my replacement drive (too big for the amiga and I can't ge disk checking working) the head doesn't budge at all if i manually try move it.

It doesn't slide smoothly or anything. I think the part that the head uses to slide along it just isnt gripping it as well as it used to. It kinda pops up and then grinds along when I slide it. The working drive isn't movable at all.
