Today I picked up of a large number of JPPBM's 1581 Drive Kits. These are real 1581s that Commodore removed the drive mechanisms from to use in Amiga drives. The case, logic board, instructions, and power supply are included. You supply the drive mech.
I am selling them for $75 Canadian each. This *includes* shipping to anywhere in the world. One per customer.
I cannot provide any technical support for these kits. Please make sure you know what you're doing before ordering one. But if you have first-hand knowledge of which drives work and which don't, please post that information here for everyone's benefit. Amiga drives are most likely to work.
The process is simple:
1. Paypal $75 Canadian to paypal@leifbloomquist.net and include your mailing address.
2. I will then send the kit to you.
Please, no other direct correspondence. Post here if you have questions.
Customers in 220V-land will not receive a power supply (these are only 120V), but the price is the same because of the extra shipping. You can use 1541-II power supplies with these as well.
Just about everyone on this group knows me, but for the rest, I have 100% eBay feedback (userid, leifbloomquist) so you can at least see my track record in the eBay context.

For those who would rather buy these from the comfort and safety of eBay, I've listed them there as well. Includes a couple of pictures of the kits.

Some require more work than others. Read the articles linked from the auction.

Ah. Soldering required. Out of my league, then.

Have you still got any kits left?

I do, but I'd like to catch up on shipping before listing the rest. I'll post the link here (probably tomorrow or the day after).

Don't worry. I'm fairly sure he'll offer more of them as soon as he deals with the current orders. When this is over, everyone will have a 1581, or two.

Sorry, but no - it just takes up too much time and space in my living room. But I've convinced Joe to put his phone# on his website so he'll be easier to reach.
