Interesting, I've just picked up two 9766s and two OEMed CDC pack drives
(unsure of model # yet). I might be bugging you about spares :P
Thanks,
Jonathan

There is a Make Offer option, and it does look like

take offers fairly regularly. I will not be buying it.
If someone does, I have a huge amount of spares for 976x drives,
including refurbished heads. It might take a while to find them in my
mess, however.

Hi list,
Just came across this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Computing-CDC-Magnetic-Peripherals-Control…
Haven't seen one listed in years. The price lets me assume that this
offer
addresses customers that may use these drives in a production
environment or so...
I am not aware of museums or hobbyists who have
such drives currently in
a functional state to read and write from and to 80MB (CDC
9762) or 300MB
(CDC 9766) disk packs. Maybe the CHM? ... not taking into consideration the
CHM activities related to the Xerox disk cartidge (2315-equivalent)
software archive project.
Anybody out there? Would be interesting to know.
Best regards,
Pierre
