    Everything was exactly as described and shown. Each of the items were carefully bubble wrapped and placed in the shipping box, which arrived ealier than expected, and in good condition. A great value for all of the items, working or not, just for its parts. I'll have fun checking them all out and seeing if they work and/or if they're repairable. Great seller, recommended AAAAA+++++!!!!!

    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.
