ive talked about this before with fixing it myself. but that didnt work. since atariusa is closed for now, is there another place preferably in the USA to fix fds systems

I blew 115 on the fds and 18 on 3 belts. I dont know if i should just sell it or invest in a new drive worth 40 bucks

Your best bet would be to email Tomy at Tototek.com or Frankie at gmedoctorhk.com and see if they can sell you just the disk drive mechanism.

But ill see if i can ask one for cheaper

ericj

Ask for just the disk drive mechanism, not a complete FDS.  ;)

What is Frankie's email address at gamedoctorhk.com ? I have been looking at the site for a while, and can't find a contact button.

Thanks
