The old amstrad PCW8512/256 computers are a good source for these drives as they have two of them and the computers themselves are pretty much worthless.

Like this perhaps: https://stiggyblog.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/zx-spectrum-3-floppy-drive-belt-... Might be an unexpected source if you can find old Sinclair ZX Spectrums... eBay #302415223831 - the UK seller has ZX in his handle, perhaps he has drives for you! John :-#)#
