Hi
I will be interested as soon as I get a 7905 :)

I'd be quite interested in these, as I'm sure some other people would be
too. Any chance we could get pictures?

Subject: Anybody here work on HP 7905/7920 disk drives?
Went scrounging yesterday and found a small
plastic box of what looks
like HP disk drive test/alignment accessories. Parts include 07905-60049,
07905-60039, 5061-1386, 07920-60030 and 07920-62421. Anybody need this
stuff? The box is filled with that old self-disintegrating foam so the
stuff will need to be cleaned up but it looks like it's in very good
condition (the box is in rough shape).

Dwight, where were you when I was giving away a bunch of 7905/6 drives a
couple months ago? *grin*
I don't think I have any extras now, except one that is being used as parts
and is clearly non-functional now.

Al,
Here is a picture of the tools;
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/binks/hp%207905-7920%20acc.jpg>. Note that
the box has a crack near the to LH coner. The upper connector on the top
connector/socket assemnbly has spots of corrosion from the foam and some
green spots of foam on the top on the contacts inside the socket. The part
on the RH side doesn't look like any of the pictures on the box. I'm not
sure what it is but it has a 07920 part number* and was in the box with the
other stuff.
* A closer look revealed that the number on this part is 07970-62421.

Some of the part numbers yield brief descriptive information at
<http://www.partsurfer.hp.com/>.
I'm thinking these are not so much "tools" as "parts" from a 7925
parts kit. The HP CEs or their field offices had sets of rigid
suitcases with cutout foam inserts loaded with field replaceable
parts, some being in plastic cases like the one shown in your picture.
If you needed a 7925 fixed the CE would show up with the 7925 parts
kit suitcase(s) in his station wagon. There were tools too but I
don't know whether they lived in different suitcases; it wasn't
uncommon for the CE to bring the suitcases in on a folding luggage
cart.
