So very disappointing. A clean, working A1010.

Oy. Still cooling down from this. Grabbed this on eBay and it arrived today.

My tweets ( @blakespot ) tell the story, I'll just copy them here:

Nice packing job on this 28 year old Amiga 1010 drive. Hardly worth plugging it in to see if it still works. #idiots http://t.co/Uo2OofBNQ4

Unwrapping the 1010 floppy drive reveals jostling rammed the ejector into the drive, bending, breaking it. #****wits http://t.co/x0VyCfGdip

I had a TSR-80 Model 4 shipped to me a few years ago and the heavy manuals and binders were set on the keyboard in the box and it must have taken a big jostle. The keyboard support post poked through the keyboard circuit board.

I wired around it to get it working again, though.

Shipping...
