Actually, an 1541/II drive could do the job for you. But actually a normal 1541 is cheaper in US
Even if was made for EU market (and cheaper to get from UK, or Germany then locally)
As the PSU is not integrated, the task is much easier to find one. It could be even cheaper, who knows
If you can organise and external 110V PSU, then any 1541/II will fit your requirement, only the postage could be higher, as should be paid two times (but as far as I know, between US and UK rather acceptable).
One example: not dirt cheap, but a working and tested 1541/II is 42Euro with EU PSU:

and from US you can get aPSU for that (1581 uses the same external PSU as 1541/II), but originals are also available at a double price:

UPDATE:
sorry, I was not clear in that. ANY IEC drive will be OK for Plussy, just will not match the color. I only use 1571 and 1541/II.
I think that a US version of 1551 could be such a rarity, may reach 200 USD price easily on ebay :-)
