$100? !!! Just an hour ago, I emailed Philip this:
What is a typical sales price for a functioning
8" drive?
How much would it cost to get one to Philip from where you are?
I'll cover the cost up to $100 total. One of my "probably-never" projects is this
8" disk drive in a PDP-11
simulation. It is a Tandon 848E, a "half-height" model.
I also have that hard to find (?) 6-pin AMP power supply connector!
I am in The Netherlands, so shipping would not be too expensive, but
still something as the drive weighs a bit. I can take a few pictures of
all
sides. The drive looks cosmetically very good, and AFAIK complete.
Yes, I have to say "untested" ... but if you explain me how, I can do some
simple tests here.
I am not looking for $700, that is ridiculous. Not even $50 (would be nice
though ...) Just make an offer. I seem to remember that I had a second
one, in lesser shape.
