So disaster struck and I'm now in a position to have to replace my floppy drive on my Amiga 1000. I'm not going to do a hack job with a gotek, but found an alternative that even has a speaker to make floppy sounds at appropriate times. I found a 3d print structure to put it in place. I have one for my amiga 500 and I trust the Goex. Now it's time to bring my Amiga 1000 back to life yet again.
Here's the link to the 3d print if anyone else ever ends up in my boat:
