I heard somewhere that the 12x cd unit for the 1400 can be replaced with a generic TEAC 24x drive; the faceplate from the old 12x unit can be transferred. Is this valid? My 12x unit is completely dead.

That's right, see here (right down the bottom of the page)

... I did the same with my 1400c and its been great. The TEAC CD-224E drive was a really common model in PC notebooks of the same era; I recall ripping mine from a Toshiba Pentium 1 laptop. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding one.
