• Please review our updated Terms and Rules here
  • From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing. This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales. New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

PS/2 Floppy Repair

How much would you charge to recap a drive? The one that's kind of critical is the one in my model 35, the other 4 I have are just spares at the moment

Typically $25 for hobbyists. Regular electrolytics get replaced with same-size modern electrolytics, the bipolar/nonpolar electrolytics get replaced with MLCC 1206 ceramic caps which are much better. Heads get cleaned and mechanism cleaned/lubricated if it needs it.
