Sequential circuits samplers

So I pulled the drive out of my P2002+ last night. It was a Canon
MD-350. I took it apart and found that the stepper motor that moves
the head was a bit sticky, so I cleaned it out and lubed it up. And...

Fortunately...
I no longer get the "Lh" error, and the drive will try to format a
disk...

Unfortunately...
...the format fails, returning the "nF" error. The heads must still be
screwed up.

Any tips on sources for replacement drives ??
