Microdrive felt pads

Post by Simon_Carr »

Hello All,

Long time since I was active, but now the summer is on the wane, I am blowing the dust off my QL, and returning to the fray.

last time I was doing stuff, there were a lot of discussion s about replacement felt pads for microdrives. I recall that Dave was supplying large numbers of new pads, but now I am looking around, I see no sign of them on Sellmyretro or anywhere else.... Are these still available, and if so, where?

Cheers,

Simon

Excellent, many thanks Dave! No rush, but I think I'm going to be spending a chunk of the winter ordering more of these and refurbing all my cartridges!

Unfortunately, no - Dave (Park) has confirmed that there will be no more felt pads from him.

I have been speaking with David Marling on sellmyretro.com who has offered refurbished microdrive cartridges and he is looking at offering some packs of his own replacement felt pads - they are not the same as the ones Dave Park (in the USA) was selling but seem to work quite well.

I believe you have purchased some of these replacement cartridges from David Marling anyway?
