New Old Stock original Mitsumi drive head assemblies for the 1541(II) and 1551 diskdrives with Newtronics mechanisms.

These heads often fail in the 1541 and 1551 drives and are impossible to repair without swapping the entire assembly. We have gotten hold on a small batch of new old stock of these assemblies.

Since this product is of very limited quantity, we will only allow one purchase per customer. Multiple orders from the same account or to the same shipping address will not be combined and may be cancelled at our discretion. Also any payment fees besides the item price will not be refunded! Please allow your fellow enthousiasts to also grab a new part.

Warning: do not buy this part if you have never repaired a 1541/1551 drive before. Only buy it if you are 100% sure the original drive head of your drive is broken and are a skilled technician. There can be many other reasons for a drive to not read properly like a dirty head or misalignment (and yes: more than often just worn out floppies).  Make sure to eliminate those causes first. Mounting a new drive head assembly requires advanced disassembly of the drive mechanism, and you need to perform a full calibration/alignment afterwards, which requires special software and an alignment disk and is not easy to perform unless you know exactly what you are doing. Incorrect placement of the head, performing an incorrect alignment or wrong reconnection of the fragile wiring can break the head or cause damage to the entire mechanism rendering it completely useless.

Therefore we will not be able to give any support on mounting the part. You can find multiple videos on Youtube on the head replacement and calibration process.

We are also not able to replace faulty heads since stock is extremely limited. Each head ordered through our shop has been manually tested on coil resistances and labeled with a serial number badge and the test results noted on the packaging label. As soon as you receive the head (i.e. within a week after receiving the package), verify the coil resistances for yourself with a multimeter. These typically range between 22 and 27 Ohms for the R/W coil and between 13-15 Ohms for the erase coils. You might see small variations between our measurements and yours, but they should be roughly in the same range. Should you encounter an infinite resistance (O/L) that means one of the coils is broken. Contact us immediately if this happens. No returns or refunds will be given AFTER the part has been mounted. There is a small diagram on the packing label with the pin combinations to test.
