WTB Working TEC FB-503

[TomL_12953]

I'm looking for a working TEC FB-503 1/2 height, 360 kb floppy drive to replace a bad one in my Tandy Model 4D

If you have one you'd be willing to sell, please let me know!

Thanks!

I have a NIB Teac drive of a slightly different model number I'm selling if you feel like paying 'new' price. I'll knock $10 off if you want to buy it outside of eBay since I won't have to deal with the fees. I tested it in my 4P so I'm sure it will work in your 4D http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-in-Box-...ual-Tandy-1000-and-more-25-1005-/171197557046

The TEC FB-503 was used in other items as well: FD-502 Coco disk drive, Model 100 DVI, and I have seen them installed in SOME versions of the Sanyo MBC-5xx computers. There are probably others if you know what you are looking for.

The special front face for the 4D just unscrews from your dead drive and installs on the new drive, I have done that a few times.

Cheers,

Ian.

How do you get it off? The head load lever is in the way and is held on by a tiny set screw that's so small, I can't find any tools to remove it.

Stanley screwdriver, small Phillips-head: 0 Point PH 65.520 takes off the front lever.

Then 2 screws are accessed through the top of the drive behind the black bezel.

Hope this helps,

Ian.
