Physically, it's in pretty good shape. Floppy doesn't work, but I understand that's pretty common with these, and I've ordered a replacement belt.

My biggest problem is that the battery is no good. It's a sealed lead acid 6v 1.8ah battery, and I can't identify any appropriate replacement anywhere.

Also, has anyone managed a Gotek installation into one of these? It looks like the floppy connector is proprietary but carries standard floppy signals. I'm considering hiding the gotek inside the system and routing a USB extender cable and switches out through the expansion plate cover at the rear of the machine. Looks like there's plenty of room inside.

Should I be worried about that yellow rechargeable battery?
