Rare Variant CBM 1541 II on Ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-1541-II-Floppy-Disk-Drive/143557971394 Even I don't have this one! As some of you may know the Khizzopistni variant of the CBM-II was packaged in a Polaroid case briefly, before reverting back to the more familiar drive profile. I'd totally get this one, but it will probably shoot up to $4000 or more. Bill
Bill, this was the “stealth” version correct? Made to look like a Polaroid. Like the stealth Apple IIgs, using the Apple IIgs upgrade kit used in the Apple iie ;-) Sent from my iPhone

Only slightly more obstructed is the Winchester drive in a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye case. On Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 8:00 PM Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I've always liked that viewfinder that allowed you to see where the head is on the disk surface at any time. On Mon, Mar 30, 2020, 8:11 PM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
