In this video I'm looking at how to power the 1541 - II disk drive. The original power supply was lost some time ago.

Watch as the saga of finding the right supply unfolds. Are my soldering skills up to it?

And then it's on to testing and seeing if it works.

Then I may be finally able to get on with checking out all the disks I bought recently as a job lot!

Check out the job lot at this link.
