  The thing  that made me ask was that the grey thing
was possibly a 1/4 or 
 larger  motor, and maybe it was some oddly skinned disk drive.  Now I see   it.

 My cousin built one of those and had the best workshop TV  in full color 
 till his wife made him put it in a box in the living  room. Great fun 
 with the controls that pulled out after that, but not  near as fun as a 
 25" or so color tv on your bench.

  thanks for the info.

 I will try to get there tomorrow, may  call you, Brendan and let you 
 distribute the Bytes.  I'm looking  for a particular ad in the 70s thru 
 80's magazines and if I find it  that would be all I want to keep.

 thanks
