    Every thing was great and worked well accept for the link itself . It refuses to link to the controllers . I don’t think that’s the sellers fault though I think it’s just old and busted . Everything was extremely well packed would do business again. Shipping was a little slow but not the sellers fault . Great value and well described.

    Very well packed to safeguard in shipping, very quick shipping from Abington, Massachusetts to Ontario, Canada, delays with shipping are to be expected however this was fast. The GE Fanuc IC640BLD304A PC Board is exactly as pictured and described. Very high quality and very good condition, vendor very easy and very professional to deal with. Excellent value. Very professional transaction.

    Very fast shipping, excellent packaging, excellent price even before seller dropped it a little. I figured this was a very risky purchase, since the lamp’s box had “1970” written on it. Perfectly described! So the lamp would be 55 years old and hydrogen gas filled. Not much likely hood of it working. But it looked brand new when I opened its box and it works magnificently! Absolutely wonderful! Many thanks to the seller for making this available!

  • 1541 Alps is good, avoid Mitsumi

    The 1541 and 1541-II with the D500 drive, the ones with the swivel latches, are to be avoided. The heads die and the aren't any replacement heads so it is a door stop. Get the Alps drive units, it has the fire you press shut. This drives may have latch wear for issues but they can be fixed.

  • Smaller than a DeLorean

    Looks great! I can't wait to throw some floppies in this thing and take a trip back to 1983!

  • Positively surprised and lucky with this floppy disk drive purchase

    I was positively surprised with the quality and cosmetic condition of this product - it was delivered to me in mint condition! Although untested, it turns out it worked just fine. It lacked the serial wire connecting the device to the Commodore 64, the test demo floppy disk, transit card to secure the drive head upon transit and users manual. I bought these accessories separately. Now I have the complete piece of computing history supplementing my vintage Commodore 64. Many thanks!

  • The device itself is awesome for its nostalgic aura. Not practical unless you want to play with old Commodore 64 disks.

    The device was in excellent condition and functions. I was able to load a game and play it.

  • Hard to find good working Commodore disk drive works perfectly

    An untested 25 year old disk drive has a chance of not working. I had this one sent directly to my repairman in Washington State to check it out, and it needed nothing. I now have it and it works perfectly.
