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 would look for a scrap CD-ROM drive and use the entire clamping
assembly if you can.
