Hey Birt! | MSD Super (leaky) Disk Drive SD-1. Can we cure this drive of incontinent capacitor syndrome? @HeyBirt | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.

In this video we take a look at an MSD Super Disk Drive SD-1 for the Commodore VIC-20, C 64, and B series business machines. These have the reputation of being sturdily built but are also known for having leaking capacitors. This unit does not disappoint. Can we get it working again?
