After getting the #Commodore #C64 and #C128 running again, the next device to repair is the #C1571.
It had #corrosion and #rust on the main board and the power supply is beyond repairworthiness. I'd replace the latter with a #meanwell RD-35 with 5 and 12 volt output.
One #diode was rusty, a few traces needed #cleaning and five #resistor looked bad. Hope the black hybrid chip is still okay.
Sadly, the lower read head seems to be broken, my work might've been in vain.

the worst corrosion on the main board. a rusty diode and a few other rusty pins.
the same section after cleaning and replacing the diode and five resistors (the blue ones). the fixed traces have been covered by soldermask again
the mechanics schowing the read heads. sadly, the lower head is reading open circuit where it shouldn't, indicating broken coils.

I WAS ALL SET TO BUY THE #CYBERTRUCK!

I had my heart set on it, #corrosion and massive #engineeringissues and #reliability issues be damned!

BUT WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER IS THERE AN OPTION FOR A #TRUNKMONKEY🦧 HE SAID NO!!!
