Eject button replacement

Zedrick · 22 November 2009, 11:14

Hello,

I have a bunch of Amiga500/500+'s in my basement, unfortunately most of them are missing the diskdrive eject button. Is there any amigadealer that sells replacements? Or does anyone know of some company (in Europe) that can manufacture a not-too-big-run of replacement buttons? (I'm sure there's more people than me who needs them.)

There are more non-functional Amiga drives around than ones missing the eject button, mate.

Specially those from A500/2000 era.

I threw a broken A500 internal drive away less than a week ago, it stopped reading disks. I never thought to keep the eject button!

Just improvise. Piece of wood + hot glue?

It seems some mechanisms are more prone to losing the eject button than others.
