I stopped by one of my more rare to visit scrappers, and was disappointed to see a number of 8" floppy drives mashed up in a huge bin of other drives with aluminum frames. To prevent this requires I offer him enough more to carefully handle and set aside these drives than he is getting for aluminum scrap. So, whats an 8" floppy drive in unknown working state worth? Are there parts I could remove that are worthwhile? I also have to wonder what potentially NEAT thing these drives came out of too. Sigh. Its a fine line you have to walk with scrappers, pay enough to make it worthwhile to them, but not give them the idea that treasure might be in there junkpile.
