subject: 1541 drive alignment/repa

Hi all,
for some projects, I need a spare 1541 drive other than my original and still
perfectly functional one.
I have a 1541-II lying around, and it worked the first time I tried it (that
was yesterday). Now it doesn't read any disk anymore.
I downloaded the fine commodore 1541 troubleshooting and repair guide and
it has procedures based on the "Dysan Analog Alignmnet diskette 224/2A".
Now I guess this one is next to impossible to get nowadays, right?
There're similar procedures not requiring this particular disk, but I
thougth asking does no harm :)
Is anyone still able to align and troubleshoot a real 1541 (and similar)
or everyone switched to SD cards and modern stuff?
Thanks
Frank
