Actually .. I'm kinda interested in this too...
I have an old floppy drive that doesn't spin.
It clicks like it wants to work but doesn't spin.
The wheel is free, I can reach in with a pencil
eraser and turn it easly.
I would be interested in if it can be fixed.
Has anyone had any success in fixing these??

That shaft that the head slides back and forth on
is a Lead Screw type of thing and the head shouldn't
just slide. Its supposed to position the read head so
if the head slides easly without turning the shaft
then I'd say its not fixable.

I'll have to check this drive of mine and see if the
drive belt is ok............
