My 600's floppy drive has died

[CritAnime]

At 1:20am GMT my Amiga 600's floppy drive coughed out it's last breath of life. It has served me well for many years and I am saddened that it has happened. Especially as I have spent so long giving it TLC just to keep it going for a bit longer.
 
However i can't stay down about it for too long. I need to get the old girl back up and running so I was wanting to know what avalable option I have for replacing it. I was curious about those floppy emulator things and if anyone had much luck with it.

I have seen a few refurbished drives on eBay. Contemplating getting one.

What's the problem precisely?

It made an almighty squeal then a crunch. Now it just wont read anything.

It also mangled Turrican 2 in the process.

Yeah I noticed them while looking for drives. Would make a better choice to buy a new one rather than a refurb.

However I am still curious about the drive emulators.

I scrapped the drive right away. But before I did I opened the drive and found that the head appeared to be out of allignment and that the motor had a scorch mark on it. So dunno what happened. In anycase new drive ordered
