Disk ][ Head Load Pad

[m-jk8594@happy.CS.nyu.EDU (James Kyriannis)]

I'm trying to find a "Head Load Pad" for a Disk ][ drive.

The "Head Load Pad" is a small felt disk that is attached to the arm that
swings up and down as you open and close the drive door.  This felt pad is
directly opposite the r/w head, and so it presses down on the diskette
media, to achieve positive contact with the r/w head.

Somehow, my "Head Load Pad" disappeared.  Now, when the diskette spins, I 
scratch up the opposite side of the disk I'm reading, since plastic is now 
touching the diskette, rather than the pad.

According to my books, this WAS a standard part you could get from your
Apple ][ dealer.  Does anyone know where I can get one or two of these
buggers?  Can anyone get them for me??  I will send you the few bucks they
would cost and I would pay for the 40 cents (or so) postage.

Thanks very much,

Jim
