I bought an ‘ultimate 1541’ a couple years ago and never looked back.

c64 with an ‘ultimate 64’ board which has the same ability to read from a usb
stick.
Amazing tech. ..FWIW

My vote is with David. As well, simply TRY those disks with another
1541 somehow before buying - your disks may be degrading beyond any
usability...just getting another 1541 would not help there

You really should open up the Drive and take some IPA like 99% and a quality
Q-Tip and clean the heads first. Dirty or degraded Disks can cause some
really weird Drive behaviour.

Hi There,
I am an owner of a Commodore 64 computer.
My 1541 disk drive is not reading my floppy disks.
I may need to purchase a disk drive.
I wanted to know if anyone in your computer club is interested in
selling a Commodore 64 disk drive??
Or if you can recommend where I can find one??
Here is my contact email:

Please keep me posted.
Thank you.
Paul
