Closed 1571 drive mech from C128DCR

[invaderkewl]

Hello All,
I’m looking for drive mechanisms or drive heads that can work with a C128DCR unit. It seems my drive logic board is fine after testing it but the mechanics seem to be either misaligned or the heads are bad (still testing). I currently have the Mitsumi mechanics.
Also if anyone has one of the following I would also be interested in purchasing:

1) a known good set of C128 disks factory formatted (not copies) and hopefully including CPM disks.
2) an analog calibration diskette (I have o-scopes)


I am based in France, so preferably shipping from the Eurozone or UK is best.
Thanks for your time.

I have the mechanic parts from a stand alone 1571, in fully working order (I have the logic board too). I don't know if it is compatible with the one inside the DCR.

I assume it is a D502 Mitsumi/Newtronics mechanism? Do you have some pictures to share? I won't need the logic board as mentioned above.

I found a working replacement- thanks everyone.

Found here on Amibay or elsewhere?

Found on eBay. It was listed as a 1541-ii mechanism but from looking at the photos it was the correct mechanism. Tested it using the commodore diagnostics - all good, no alignment errors. It wrote all formats
