Hi,
Most of the G91's I've come across have the DSL 710A drives installed.
Replacements can be sourced but be careful to try to get one with a similar firmware version as if it is too new, it may not work correctly.
Contact Marc Koval of this parish and see if he can assist.
Good luck,
Steve

FWIW I have a G91A and the drive was defective - but it was only a rubber band/drive belt that was broken. I had it repaired without needing to replace the drive.
A good local hifi gear repairer may be able to diagnose and solve.
Recognise that lots of assumption in the above but hopefully of some help.

Hi, I got a dsl 710A from Ali express for about 25€ for my G98, and it’s working perfectly.

Thanks for the response Ado
Afraid I don’t know of a good local repairman. In any case, with labour rates being what they are, it would be cheaper to just replace the drive.

Thanks for the info Andy. That’s a good price.
Was the drive new or refurbished? Can you provide a link?

Thanks Andy. Sold out now.
There are other sellers who list this drive, but feedback seems to indicate that the drives are actually used or, at best, refurbished.
Edit: I've found one,now sorted. Was looking for another one as backup.

Hi,
look at my old posts. There you will find everything you need to know about a drive which no longer exist in new condition.
