Buyer Comments - Korg X3 Floppy Drive Belt

Hello Rich.

Just wanted to thank you for the quick reponse time in getting a pair of belts for my Korg X3 FDD!!!
I cannot forget how much the pictures on your site looked as my situation with a worn-out belt with a "I have not been used for a looong" time bend at the motor drive wheel when placed around the new belt.

Mounted the new belt according to your VERY comprehenssive explanations - and vólia - success!!
My back-ups and songs are appr. 15 years old... and I don't have them as MIDI SysExcl....

Thanks!

Best regards - Jesper from DENMARK.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the quick service and excellent photo tutorial showing how to replace the belt.

Cheers,

The belt came in yesterday and I swapped it out and it worked. Now I can listen to some of my old mid files : ) Thanks for all your help.

Got the belts today, have one install,. My X2 is working like new.
Thank You for your excellent directions for this repair.

Thank You
Willie

Rich, thanks for sending out the belt so fast!!!
I installed it and it's working great. My old belt was 18 years old and stretched out pretty bad. I was getting "Drive Not Ready" when you press your DISK button.
Also had to clean the heads on the disk drive with my floppy disk cleaner.
 
Thanks for making the how to's with pictures. This saved me time figuring out how to do it...
I have been doing work on my keyboards for over 25 years. Having the dissemble instructions saves a lot of time and hassle!

Thanks,

Tom

Hiya Rich,

Thanks for supplying these little life savers!  I'm wondering, at sometime down the road, if you were to retire or not carry these belts anymore, where would I be able to get one from?

Thanks,Dan

Hi i just rec'd the 2 korg x3 belts i bought earlier this week. not only did they arrive quickly, by following your link on how to replace the belt, it took me 15 minutes to fix my korg. my other one is in florida and i'll fix that one in Dec. Thank you for having the belt, sending it so quickly , showing me how to do it and saving me alot of money.

Hello,

thank you very much, my Korg X3 floppy disk is working again thanks to the belt I bought from you, and the explanations on how to change it you provided on your site !
I appreciate people proposing methods to repair/restaure rather than throw away/buy a new one...
;-)
Thanks again, have a nice day,

Hi,

Just got my replacement belt for my Korg X3 today.  I installed it as instructed on your site, and could not believe that it worked!  Usually when I embark on these types of endeavors, something gets messed up.  But it was easy, and your instructions were great.  Thank you SO much!

Hi Rich,

Got the belt today, put it in the drive and Voilá! It worked.

Many thanks. I have been wanting to replace this belt for some time (having taken the thing apart to establish that this was the problem).

Korg suggested taking the i4S floppy drive to a PC repair facility.

However when I found your website I was very relieved as it seems to solve my problem. (I had previously purchased a bag of random belts but nothing fitted).

I have not been able to import/export sounds for over a year without the floppy drive.

Thanks for forwarding the belt,

Martin

. . . Drive belt received and fitted! Works great - excellent service!
      Many thanks.

Hello,

Thank you so much for supplying me with a new drive belt for my old but greatly treasured X3. I really thought it was the end of the line when the drive stopped working but having fitted the new belt we're up and running again.

I stood to potentially lose a lot of stuff that I did for radio back in 1995 so you can imagine my distress when things went wrong!
Thanks again,
                          Paul

Hello,

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your fab web site!!!

My Korg X3 disk drive has been giving problems for years and nobody could help. Korg UK said there was nothing that could be done and I must just live with it. I had given up hope of fixing it.

Finally I found your website after advice from an ebay seller in Canada, and I purchased a new drive belt from you, and your excellent pictures and step by step instructions gave me the confidence to try the repair myself. Well the drive now works perfectly again and I can use all the disks of sounds that I have not been able to access for a long time.

THANKS AGAINS for your great service - I really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

With this new belt, now, my X3 's floppy drive is working again.

Thank you very much!

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the confirmation - can't believe there's a possibility that my disk drive will function again - I thought it was a lost cause. Very grateful.

Toby

Hello Rich
 
Just a quick email to say that I received the belt, fitted it and the X3 drive is now working perfectly. The other belt was well worn!
 
Thanks very much for this, from an extremely delighted customer, in the UK

Best of luck in your business and hope to deal with you again as it was an absolute pleasure.
 
You certainly set the standards with customer care as you always responded to my emails and kept me in the picture.

Best regards

Hi Rich,
 
 
Thank you very much for the belt, it worked perfectly on my X2's drive.  I was able to retrieve my old songs from the floppy they're on and now I can retire this nice sounding, but low polyphony killing keyboard.

Schweet, thanks again Rich, appreciate the help.

Have a great weekend,

Brian

Thanks very much for that, much appreciated -

Really pleased - thanks

Best regards for the UK. 

Rich,

I just completed a PayPal transaction for a belt. I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this! You have no idea!

My friend, you have just made my week.

Ian
