So you’ve just bought a CPC 6128 from eBay or you’ve got your old one down from the loft… and you’re sad to find disks aren’t loading? DO NOT FEAR! The disk drive itself is a robust beast! It’ll probably just need a replacement drive belt or a clean!
Here I show you how to service a 6128 disk drive replacing the drive belt and cleaning the drive head! IT WORKS! This is quite a long video but it shows you everything I did to carefully get in and do the job correctly! I may upload a short version of this video at a later date.
