Hello,
Having had an Amstrad CPC6128 growing up; I'm now back into it as a hobby.
I have recently purchased an early 6128 with an EME-150 A, FDD.
After replacing the belt cleaning the head and lubricating the rails and worm drive, it loaded discs for a few tries but now doesn't. All I'm getting is "read fail" I've tried with system discs and copies that work fine on my 664.
I think it may be require speed calibration and alignment but I can't find any you tube clips or tutorials for the EME-150 A floppy disk drive.

Does anyone have any insight they could share please? Any help appreciated.

Here is what it looks like:

Hello, you can try the program "Dsktest.dsk" or better "cdt" if the drive not read. Go to option 5, wait a few seconds and it will show the RPM. Adjust the motor screw very slightly, with a flat screwdriver, to the right or left and measure again until you get 300.00 RPM +-3.0 rpm.
