Hi Guido, Error 81 is not specific to the brake, other things can cause it.
Does the drive ever spin-up? If not: after the brake is released, try to flip the flywheel with the eraser end of a pencil... sometimes this is enough to make it run. I think you spin the front edge from right to left (counter-clockwise when viewed from the bottom). If the spindle won't spin-up without the flip, try adjusting the brake; but I expect the motor (or the motor driver board) has a problem. I don't know of a fix for this or what the problem is; let us know if you find out! Good luck! James >brake of the Widget in one on my Lisa makes a distinct clunk.
