Well, crap.
I got rid of my 2 9766?s and all the packs that I had for them a couple of years ago for
nothing what this guy is asking for his. ;-)
I probably still have a pile of heads for them (but they?d probably go to the guy who
purchased the drives/packs from me).
What are folks using these types of drivers for? Media content recovery or just using
them as intended?

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.
