labrat Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I recentlty opened up my 1040 STF to see if I could determine its RAM, and now have a small cylindrical brass(?) piece whose location I do not know. I would appreciate any help getting it back to where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I believe that is one of the supports for the floppy drive. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labrat Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks. I did not initially know which screws anchored the floppy, and had removed said screws while taking the cover off. P.S. Its great that I can post 'where does X piece go?' and get an answer in a few minutes! Edited February 17, 2009 by labrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techie_alison Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yep. There's also only one place for it to go as well, as the other three black posts fit into holes that 3-screws go through to secure the floppy drive. Oh hell, here have a photo!!

Shredder11 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well it is an enhanced photo I suppose... ...I'll get me coat! P.S. Did I mention that I have three STe machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techie_alison Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ...I'll get me coat! LOL. "This week I have mostly been eating Scotch Eggs!" I'll do another picture when I get round to it. About to sell on an STFM, so will take the picture when I check it all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
