Sold C1581 Drive + Box

[crrn]

Hi
I'm selling my Commodore 1581 3,5'' drive.
The set comes with 1581 drive, serial cable and box. I should have also the PSU brick but I can'tfind it now. I will add it if I find it. The PSU from 1541 works well with this drive.
The box is a modern replica of original 1581 one.
Drive is clean and not yellowed (only small spot at the back). I can add 2-3 formatted 3,5'' floppy discs if buyer wants that.
Drive was tested on C128 with Geos and CP/M, both worked fine.
This is my last 1581 and it will be also offered elsewhere.
Asking €375 (was €425) + Shipment + PP Fees. Accepting also Wise and Revolut

Edit 3.06.2025: significant price drop.
new price is €375 (was €425)

Edit 4.06.2025
Shipping only in EU.

Edit 16.06.2025
Price drop. New price €330 (was €375).
It's now also offered elsewhere.

Can I change it with a standard PC 3,5" floppy Alps Electric when it is damaged etc?

TBH I don't know. I think I've seen people saying you can install Amiga like drives in it but I'm not sure about it either.

OK thanks.

The floppydrive inside is an Amiga Chinon FB354 (tall model) or equal drive (i.e. Panasonic).
If broken, just replace it with an Amiga drive!
PC drives won't work, but can wotk if they are modded to Amiga spec. You probably have the eject button not in the right place though.
