| Posted by: PotShotScott on 2023-05-08 13:36:53 Old thread I know but where did you source the microswitch? I think one of mine is broken... They're both supposed to have lever arms on them right? | |
| Posted by: pocketscience on 2023-05-08 14:37:59 Nothing special about the switch - I got mine from a local eBay seller.. He has measurements on the page so you should be able to find something to fit.

Posted by: bibilit on 2023-05-09 11:16:53but disks get caught in that back left corner on the way in, and when ejected are almost impossible to pull out. I can't see anything bent, but can't compare to anything either.Yes, happened to me many times. That small lever/hook has probably been bent at some point when the drive was not serviced and lubricated properly. So someone tried to pull a disk hard and that lever is no longer working fine anymore. Often, the lever is bent down and not sideways. | |
