[rescue] Seeking a Siemens FDD 100-8 pushbutton

Hi guys,

I'm working on an 8" floppy drive from Siemens.   The pushbutton on the
front access handle has a broken catch/latch that would hold the drive
closed.  Anybody in the States with a spare from a donor drive?  This is
the bit you push to open the drive and has a light in it (I don't need the
light).

I'll repair this one if I can.  It's thin plastic, but I might be able to
reinforce it with some thin (soda can) sheet metal and epoxy.  Before I
monkey with it, I'd like to get some life experience in this area from you
guys.

And Mr. Bill has been on my mind.  It's been 6 years and small change since
he passed.  Miss that guy.

Thanks,
Bob (out in New Mexico)
