Hi.

I've got a VG-8235 with a loose plastc part in the FDD.
It seems to be for the mechanism that keeps the drive open if no floppy is inserted.

However I have no idea where to fit it
Does anyone have a service manual or maybe pictures of a working mechanism?

Cheers.

Is it the original single sided drive?
If so, I can send you my old original drive for just the shipping costs. Then you have an example and spare parts.
The belt was worn out so it won't function as is.
