This 512k Mac also suffers from another common problem: a floppy drive that won’t eject the disk.

The failure point here is a cog made from a plastic that softens over time. In the image below, you can see how the brass gear has carved out a gap in the teeth of the leftmost cog.

Again, an easy fix with 3D printed parts from eBay.
