Atari TT floppy drive

I'm looking for working Atari TT floppy drive (direct replacement ie. Atari faceplate) and HD.

Do you have such a floppy drive, defective?

It should be an Epson SMD-340. Just have a look after any working Epson SMD-340 drive and get it. You can swap over the floppy's front bezel from your defective drive.

SMD-340 and SMD-300 is good for the swap, others not ...

On Ebay there are black Stacy Epson front-cover.

Thanks guys but... how do you actually remove faceplate without destroying it? I have smd-340 at home but I don't have any idea how to remove the faceplate...

You may have to remove the top cover of the drive to see it.

It may be helpful to remove the metal cover first to see where the panel is attached. It may also be that it is just locked, then pull carefully.
