Wanted: +3 Disc drive

Hi, I am restoring +3, but could not make my +3 disc drive to work.
The head moves to the end and then stuck there trying to read again and again. I have tried to adjust the travel limit, but could not make it work.
I will take even old disc drive(not tested) too.
Ebay is empty.
Thanks!

Some time with multimeter and new energy and voila!
Feel good
