Amiga 1200 - Panasonic JU-253-233P floppy drive eject button

solarmon · 05 August 2019, 15:30

Hi,

I've tried searching eBay and Thingiverse, but cannot find an eject button for an internal Panasonic JU-253-233P floppy drive for an Amiga 1200.

Any suggestions, other than buy another internal floppy drive!

Moldable glue might be worth trying if you don't care *that* much about aesthetics.

I've recently rebuilt the eject button of an A500 internal floppy this way, even though I have to admit it was harder than I thought it would be (but I'm not sure the glue I used was 100% ok: it was supposed to be easily... well, moldable, but it wasn't! So out of the 3 units I purchased I ended up destroying the first, and only the second one got acceptable results... I suspect temperature might have played a role here, but again, I'm not sure)
