I have a couple working 3000T floppy drive here: I think they're the same as the 3000 no? (anyone?)

I can also check my drive box and see if I have any other 3000 drives. I know I had a lot of wonky FB357 and FB354 drives here at one point (you said you wanted a non-working one?)

(I'm pretty sure the only difference between 3000 drives and other drives is the button to match the case bezel btw.)

Regards,

Glen

You can oil those to get rid of the noise, it will probably also solve your format problem. The bearing just needs some lubrication. Of course, you want to lubricate them very (very) sparingly to avoid splatter on your disks!  :-o

I've tried dry grease in the past but it seems to scatter all over the bloody drive and screw it all up along with disks so don't use that lol. (3in1 oil works though)
