I'm looking for a "spares" system for my 1000TL box, in case the unthinkable happens.

The SL looks like it'd be a good match parts-wise from a reset button/volume button/power linkage/power supply perspective.

Anyone know offhand whether they're chassis-compatible to any large degree?
 
The SL and TL chassis are largely the same except for the drive bay configuration, and of course the front bezel.

BTW, if you end up with one that you don't need, I'm looking for a white TEAC 360K 5.25" floppy drive, such as the kind that came with the 1000SL.
 
The white TEAC drives do tend to yellow over time, but it looks like yours may be beige. What is the LED color?

Here's what it should look like -- white with red LED:

Definitely red LEDs. Frankly three of these are an embarassment of riches; let me see if I can dig up a 5.25" floppy and I'll verify they're working and maybe we can work something out.
