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