Just bought a 1581 3.5 Floppy drive

That I have been looking for for a while though unsure if it'll work they said it does turn on anyways and comes with original Power supply too I am pretty happy and if it fully works I'll be even happier!

Welcome to the club. Make sure you test the output of your power supply before you use it, I am just always paranoid about Commodore PSU's

Generally, 1581/1541-II power supplies are pretty reliable. And if yours isn't, then you can buy a modern 1581/1541-II power supply from Ray Carlsen.

I already have one of those I bought it from here and it is the C64/128 Pro that also works with both the 1541-II drive and the 1581 and has the Potentiometer on the bottom to adjust the voltage and the lights to tell you if it is putting out the correct voltage.
