I have 2 of those TEC FB-504 FDDs in a Cumana dual unit, one reads discs only, the other nothing, no read or write.

While searching on the internet for info. I came across a report of leaky caps causing all sorts of corrosion problems on these drives.

A look at mine shows both have many leaking black electrolytics so yours probably will be affected as well!

Regards,
