Disklavier floppy drive replacement?

Disklavier floppy drive replacement?

2004-06-09 by NOEL

A few months ago I bought an 8 year old Disklavier MX100B from a man 
I knew who was moving house. As he had no idea of the valve, and I 
did, I let him decide the selling price. When he said £300 I
rented a 
van and collected it the same day.

Anyway enough of my lucky find. Here comes the bad part.!!!
Before he owned it, it was in a pub. beer and smoke mixed with the 
floppy drive seems to have taken effect. 

When I first got it the drive worked every other or third time. 
Slowly it has got to the stage when it no longer works at all.

My question is. Is there a replacement floppy drive I can use. I have 
took the drive out. Matsushita Ju-253A163M. 720K
The coonection on the back looks like a normal 1.44Mb floppy. Can I 
simply change it for a new 1.44Mb or is it more specific.

Many thanks in advance for you help
