ULTRA RARE Commodore 1540 Drive with package! - NOT UPGRADED! - $399 - (Liverpool, NS)
Offered here is a VERY RARE Vintage Commodore 1540 Disk Drive that was issued by Commodore in 1982 as a companion to the newly released Vic-20. The physical condition of the drive excellent other than some normal yellowing from age. There are no cracks or breaks that I can see which is unusual as these drives had very brittle cases. Drive is very clean on the inside and has NOT been upgraded. It still has the original 325303-01 ROM which means the drive is NOT compatible with a C64 unless this ROM is upgraded. The unit powers on fine and completes the self test as it should. I tested the drive to a limited degree. The drive reads a directory and will load software. Drive seems to work fine. The condition of the packaging is poor. The outer sleeve at some point had been porrly stored and has suffered extensive water damage. Considering the rarity of the outer sleeve, I thought it should still be saved and is included along with the interior styrofoam. If you do not want the outer sleeve, please let me know and I will not send it. Drive shows no signs of water damage. These drives are seldom offered, especially in working condition. Because of the nature of vintage electronics I am selling this AS IS Parts or REPAIR. However at time of listing, the drive worked as described. Please bid accordingly. The drive (not the outer sleeve) has been on display for many years. May need cleaning or small adjustments to function optimally - unsure. This is a 110v drive. Please check out my other listings. I ship worldwide. Buyer pays shipping. Shipping is estimated. Good Luck!
