I recently got a very nice HP 9816 with a 9121
drive unit from Earl
Baugh (thanks Earl!). The computer worked fine but the primary drive of
the 9121 refused to read the disk and made a continuous beating noise.
After I cleaned it on the outside I opened it to see what is wrong with
it. And I found this piece inside the drive itself:

What is that item?
Looks like a piece of laced (p)leather-craft from a children's summer
camp project..
