Commodore 1581 Disk Drive - Fully




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:7065233Brand: Commodore
Original Description:
You are bidding on a good refurbished Commodore 1581 disk drive.  It uses 3.5” Double-Density disks, holding about 800K on each disk.  This one is in very good condition, with minimal scratches or dings.  I'm not sure if it's rare, but this drive has green and yellow LEDs, which I haven't seen before.  All my other 1581s have had green and red LEDs.   By the way, refurbished means that I cleaned the heads and lubricated the drive rails, and gave it a goo...d general cleaning. This drive also has JiffyDOS installed, which improves speed, even on the already speedy 1581.  
Rather than the original linear “brick” type power supply, I am including a modern, efficient switching power supply which will provide safe, reliable power for years to come. 
I don’t have the original disks (most of the original disks are failing by now anyway), but I am including a fresh copy of the 1581 Test/Demo disk, which has some useful utilities, and a copy of my favorite build of GEOS 128 2.0.  This is a copy of my own GEOS disk that I have used for years on my 128D setup. 
Finally, I will guarantee this drive is in working order with the following conditions: In the unlikely event that the drive fails, it must be sent back, at the buyer's expense, in undamaged and unaltered condition.  That means no parts swapping or other shenanigans.  When I receive the drive and determine that it is undamaged, I will then repair the drive or refund the buyer, including return shipping.  Please ask any questions before you bid.  Thanks and good luck!On May-29-19 at 12:33:18 PDT, seller added the following information:UPDATE: Someone just asked me if the monitor was included.  I didn't think I'd have to say that, but it isn't. The picture with the graphics on it is part of the picture viewing program that's on the 1581 Test/Demo disk, and I was showing that working.  All that is included in this auction is the 1581 Drive, Power Supply, 1581 Test/Demo Disk, and GEOS 128 Disk.  Thanks everyone for your bids so far, and good luck!
