Vintage Synth Repair

If you just need a new belt then you can find this on E Bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-SY99-SY77-SY85-Floppy-drive-belts-Mitsumi-/140981195649?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Pro_Audio_Synthesisers_CV&hash=item20d3225381

 Or if you need to replace the whole drive I'm not sure of the exact model, which I hear can be bought for about $5.00 american. The trick is that the ribbon cable has to be modified to work with the SY99 and the usual E Bay sellers offer their drives with the modified cable. Sorry I don't have the information and I see that at the moment there are no replacement drives for the SY99 listed on E Bay.
