Hi David,

Look for American TV (old name) and B&C in the pages of Antic and Analog.  Parts
and service are available for the 810 drive.  Upgrading the boards will make the
old 810 as stable as the later 1050 drive.  Hopefully, the mechanism is
functioning, or is repairable, as new 810 mechanisms are very scarce.

Good luck,

Hugh
