Floppy Drives (SFD-1001 & CBM 8296D). Replacing bad capacitors
This gallery shows some stages of the repairing of the Floppy Drives of the Commodore SFD-1001 & Commodore CBM 8296D.
Defects found on the Floppy Drives:
- Floppy drives had the capacitors that leaked acid on the motor control pcb.
The difficulty was rebuild the tracks of the pcb and remove the most of the leaked acid of the capacitors. Unfortunately on the aesthetic level this type of repair are not perfect, but i’m glad that all drives now work.
To test the correct operation of the Floppy Drives i have used a working SFD-1001 with a ZoomFloppy Interface through the IEEE-488.
