Emax 2, bad floppy

Emax 2, bad floppy

2012-12-19 by paulcarlson789

Hello, I have an Emax 2 with a bad floppy drive.  The floppy seems to want to load the disk then sputters out.  I have heard a long time ago that the belts inside age and become loose.  I'm not sure if this is the problem or not.  Can some one direct me to a possible replacement or repair?  Any help is greatly appreciated.
