Oh, I'd be
happy to change the pulleys and reset the belt tensions. The
problem is _getting_ the pulleys. Do you want to be the chap who phones
Seagate and says 'Hello, I think you used to be Shugart, do you have the
60Hz conversion kits for the SA801, SA851 and SA4000 in stock'
Pft! If you brought them here you'd find spares from used drives or even
working domestic versions. Non of those floppies are exactly rare and even
the SA4000 is still around.
Are they really that common in the States? They are not at all common in
the UK any more, so don't think of that as being a source for 50Hz pulleys...
And those were the easy drives. I guess RK05s wouldn't be too hard to
find 60Hz pulleys for either. What about RX01s/02s? Do RK07s need
converting? RL's I know don't. But my ASR33 would. And all my audio tape
recorders (some of which may never have had 60Hz varients).
Don't worry, I am not going to move to the States. It would be totally
impractical for a lot of other reasons.
