keyboard and composed:

After cleaning some of the material that had been thrown onto the few
metallic parts in the unit I was able to verify the drive is still
functional, but I need to replace the clamping magnet.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find a non powdered replacement
or what I should look for?

I'd be wary of replacing just the magnet. Balancing could be a big
issue.
