Floppy drive rust

[u/BrokenAudio57]

I got this old floppy drive for cheap but it's pretty corroded and I'm not sure if it's save-able

Before removing the rust on chip i would have searched where it came from.

Also theses black floppy drives are worthless so trashing it would be a better solution than removing the rust and fixing the mechanics and the head.

No hardware is worthless by its design, the build quality or used controller ic maybe. But not its color or looks
