Dear Sam Coupé friends, my Sam floppy drive does not work and I thought it was not possible to repair it. I have also a few PC floppy drives, but I don't have the adapter board, so I would like to repair the original Citizen drive. I received information that it is actually quite easy to repair, because it should be possible to buy a new drive belt. And it is the same as in ZX Spectrum +3 drive, so there are several sources where it can be bought. (Even Farnell has it. :-))
It seemed good before I realized all eshops where I found it are in the UK = outside of the European Union. So my question is simple: Is there anybody who can send it to me from the European Union or who can send it from UK as a private person, not UK eshop, so I don't need to pay those high customs fees (which are mandatory after brexit and make the final price of these cheap items like 4-times higher)? And one more question: Please let me know if you also did this repair. Just to verify that it really works. (I think it could work - the drive seems alive and pretty fine, except the rubber belt.) Cheers, Aleš Keprt
