Pictures

This is a 110V / 50Hz drive bought on ebay US in 01/2023. Because it has a 50Hz belt and drive pulley you can use in Europe! You only need a voltage converter.
This disk drive has a newer LSI PCB, therefore you do not need -5V.

R/W Heads
There are different versions of the R/W heads. One is the well-known „tunnel erase“ (TE) and the other is the „straddle erase“ (SE). I only know the SE from the old Shugart drives; the TE from all TEAC drives.

Issues
No known issues. This drive is NOS and works flawlessly.
