It’s a new Commodore 1541 drive that came to me with the diagnosis „bad read head“.

@root42 Curious what the button is doing on the right side. could be a drive number selector. Or something else.

@1024Bytes I think it is some kind of ROM selector.

The read head measures fine though! But the Mainboard is heavily modified! This is going to be fun.
