Jay,
Well I missed out on the drive. I went out there twice but it was
raining both times so I couldn't dig it out. I went back today but someone
had beat me to it. I'll let you know if anothe one shows up.

This reminds me. I saw a 7906 laying in a scrap
yard a few days ago. I
don't know the condition, it was upside down in the dirt and under a large
wire basket. Is there any parts that I need that I can get off of it
readily?
Funny you should mention that. A spindle motor would be nice. Takes a bit of
work to get out though, and they are actually pretty delicate. If you take
the spindle motor out you should (and would have to already) take the fixed
platter out. Since it's a servo pattern based drive (with a different
magnetic coating for the servo surface) those are great to have as spares.
All 4 heads, especially the servo head. The large power board in the bottom,
and the 4 (or 5 if it's an H model) circuit boards from the card cage pull
easily. The main things I need are spindle motor, and I/O sector board.
I could definitely use those parts.
