I'm interested in the same thing.  I have an Apple //c+ and was
wondering what I could do should the internal drive die.

I just did a quick search and found a place that looks like they have
it.  Check out the following URL:

DISK DRIVE (Apple) 3 1/2" (800K) for IIc (IIe requires special card -
$49). $79

I seem to recall a hardware place that would also fix apple //
hardware.  But I can't seem to find them right now.  For the above
site, I was checking the A2Web hardware vendor list localted at:
