Does your Famicom Disk System make grinding noises and is unable to read discs? Join me on this episode of Retro Game Attic as as I replace my Famicom Disk System’s drive belt and adjust the spindle hub it to get the console going again! I’ve never worked on a FDS before so there’s speed bumps along the way but the results speak for themselves!
