iz8dwf | Commodore 1571 disk drive repair pt. 2: Replacing the R/W heads @iz8dwf | Uploaded September 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is the second part of a Commodore 1571 floppy disk drive repair. Part 1 is here:

I've found a NOS R/W heads assembly after posting on the vcfed.org forum, but it had a little "surprise" that required some additional work.
In the end this drive works for as much as I could test it!
It's amazing how a quite evident missing piece can be ignored by the brain for so long time, isn't it?
