Alright, so the front and the white half of the drive bay is one plastic piece.
And underneath are plastic clips (red) as well as metal rods (blue). Once this thing snaps into place it's near impossible to take it apart again non destructively. Oh and the PSU is riveted in place.

Despite the absolutely proprietary nature of the PS/2 line, internally the floppy drives look fairly ordinary. Aside from the connector and form factor. They even have a drive ID jumper. What use is that in a PC compatible?
This was loose inside. Any idea where it goes?

I created a reference diskette (the drive is 720k only btw), but it only briefly spins up. A friend with the same drive said the electrolytics on the spindle motor pcb were leaking on his. So I guess that's an issue on mine too.
Well, I have 10µF SMD caps in stock, but not 1µF 50V. Only these through hole caps, and checking them, the ESR seems to be a bit high at first glance. However, the expected ESR goes up with maximum voltage and lower capacitance. So it is fine
