Tested and fully working
Check the type of your motherboard before ordering - there were two distinct changes to motherboard and case design.

For use with the CTM644 monitor - fits beneath the monitor and allows you to tune in and watch television programs (PAL) between playing games on the Amstrad CPC. Has colour, contrast, volume and tuning controls.

In very good, fully working condition.

Fully restored, overhauled and serviced, the unit is in excellent condition and fully working.  Comes complete with ribbon connector.
Ideal way to add an extra drive to the 6128 or +3.

Please note thet the FD-1 unit will not work on its own with the Amstrad CPC 464 which requires a special DDI-1 interface.

The cause of poor loading performance from the CPC464 is often due to stretching and wear of the tape mechanism drive belt.
The old belts perished over time, particularly when stood unused for many years when they would often develop a "kink" where the belt rested unmoved over the capstan. This kink becomes a permanent feature in the belt causing it to jump when the drive is used again.

These square section belts are of identical design and size to the originals but made from modern, more resilient materials.

When anyone buys a 6128 these days the most common fault is a non-working drive.
This is a complete service kit for the Amstrad CPC6128 complete with new drive belt, head & drive motor capstan cleaning solution, capstan cleaning bud, shamois leather cleaning tool for the read/write head and full five page A4 fully illustrated instruction manual.
All you need (except basic tools) to service the drive of your 6128 and restore it to full working condition.  The manual is easy to read and understand with clear step by step photographs.

Disk drive service and repair package for those who do not have the knowledge, confidence or desire to open up their disk drive. Simply remove the drive from your Amstrad and post to me.

The cost of the service is £15.00 + return postage (added at checkout) and includes full clean, repair, lubrication, belt replacement and testing. Turnaround time is usually within 5 days.
If the drive cannot be repaired, then the £15.00 service cost will be fully re-funded.
Click the Shopping Cart button and make your payment, then post your drive to my address (on the Contact page). Full instructions for removing the disk drive will be supplied if needed.
