I have one of those death grip connectors in my NES. I need to replace it with one of those refurbs.

My bad, I probably should not have referred to it as FDHD. Even better I should have initially said it was from the 6100. 😬

Yeah, the drive is working. I just wanted to take it apart, clean and lubricant it.

Something like this might work.

Yes. It’s from my Power Mac 6100/66

Thanks! Those are good for the 800k drive but I’m looking for something on the FDHD (SuperDrive).

Does anyone know of a good video or instructions for tearing down and cleaning a SuperDrive floppy?

Atari 8 bits are probably my favorite from back in the day. I started with a 400 and 410. I later upgraded to an 800xl and 1050. Learned 6502 assembly on that machine.

I use the same tips. I have learned an enormous amount from watching @Branchus repair videos! 👍

I am just curious what temperature people generally use for through hole soldering. I started off using 350c but more recently have moved closer to 390c. It seems to work fine unless you hit large solder pads such as Macintosh PRAM battery holders.
