Video guide to cleaning/lubricating auto-inject floppy drives
Posted by: LaPorta on 2020-04-10 05:28:39
Hi everyone,

I know this has been covered by many other videos before, but I made a rather comprehensive guide to help avoid the pitfalls that I have run into before, including going through the eject motor, of the 800k and 1.4 MB sony auto-inject drives. It is long (1 1/2 hours), but obviously you can skip around to various parts. Let me know what you think.

The video is listed as "private". Would love to watch it.

Will have to fix.

EDIT: It should now be public.

Hey @LaPorta - I just skipped around in it for a few minutes and this video looks amazing!  Already bought a little jar of that LaPorta-approved lubricant.  Also, props on a really cool t-shirt.

Looking forward to checking out the whole thing.  Thanks for making this.  I think I know what I’m doing when working on these drives but am certain I’ll learn a few things.

Thanks on the shirt! Home-made 🙂
