Repair : 1571 Power supply issues

When I bought my C128s I really wanted to get the floppy drive that was designed for it.  So I bought a 1571.  Like most retro gear it was sold as working, but there were . . . problems.

The drive would power up but not stay on once the disk was being accessed and it would reset.  The problem was obvious bad power supply.

Back to Google I go and I found the wonderful blog World of Jani with what I needed.

I wasn't too keen on the original bare power supply or trying to fix it.  I wasn't able to get that model mentioned in Jani's blog either.  In the end I picked up another caged Mean Well power supply from RS components and set to work.

STOP . . . These voltages will, KILL YOU . . . STOP

I don't recommend doing this at all, mains voltage is really dangerous.
Get someone qualified to do it for you.

This is the unit I ended up ordering and installing :

Now I have a beautifully functional 1571.
