Henk has sent a care package from the Netherlands to LA, Ca with the
most useful 10 kilo's of parts from a 100X he was scrapping out.
Just wanted to relay thanks to him for a really long distance scrounge
via the group.
I just reorganized the stash with one of the most serviceable of my
drives, so it will be interesting to compare the parts with my drive
revision when they get here.
I prioritized the selection to take the parts with the most likely to
degrade first, then the motion control and read/write boards, then a
variety of other sensors and power supply boards.
The entire drive would have been prohibitive to ship.
Anyone else had to distill a large unit and what were the priorities or
choices made to scrounge? Did they pay off yet (have you ever raided
your stash and actually fixed one of your units or someone else's?)
