| Build itChecked Jul 30, 2026 | LOAD-IT Datasette Azimuth Indicatorby Mills Associates; reverse engineered by e5frog and Retro-Commodore | Adds a hardware azimuth indicator to a Commodore 1530 Datasette so its tape head can be aligned without running a program. The GPLv3 reverse-engineering files remain available. Shareware Plus described a small reproduction batch at GBP 16, with an optional GBP 6 brass adjustment rod and GBP 5 printed support, but that page was last updated on 2025-01-01 and uses email ordering. Confirm present stock and exactly which parts are included. Installation modifies a Datasette and requires soldering to points that can differ between PCB revisions. |
