Nice to read such a thing.
I have a 1541 i knew was working fine until i carried it to a friend.
Now it can't read any more disks, it just returns errors. Unfortunately
i have no program to re-align the head, is there something available on
the net? I found no one so far who has any original disks with such
programs and i was told it was a vendor-only thing.

Can anyone help me?
