I have a Sanyo MBC-550-2 which has been upgraded to have a second FDD. Overall the unit is intact and fairly rust free however one of the floppy drive mechanisms is very stiff. On examination inside one of the drives appears to be a Teac FD-54B-02 and the otherone I think might be a Mitsubishi drive. Each drive has differing corrosion though. On the Teac drive there are specs of rust on a lot of the shiny metal and the other drive which has a cast alumium chassis seems to be covered in a white powdery oxide:
I'm guessing I need to strip these drives and deal with each one differently. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know of documents that would cover the strip down and re-assembly of them?
It's the non-TEAC drive where the lever on the front is so stiff that I dont dare try to fully turn it.
Thanks in advance all!
