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. #floppydrive#retrocomputer

Zombie Floppy: How To Revive A Broken 1541 Head
The Commodore 1541 floppy drive is a real workhorse, that was used by millions of C64 users.The Mitsumi drive assembly has the annoying fault to have their drive heads fail due to some wires going open inside of the read/write head. A clever user by the nickname of Ruuudi has designed a little bodge PCB to make the dead drive head work again:
Another dead C1541 on our desk. This one was reported as "not working". It was gutted for its 6502 and 6522 VIA chips, but supposedly even with those in place it wasn't working. So let's have a closer look... #commodore#c64#c1541#floppydrive
