Control Data 9766 drive on epay

[P Gebhardt]

Hi list,

Just came across this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Computing-CDC-Magnetic-Peripherals-Control-Data-9766-Storage-Module/143351908424?hash=item2160708848:g:3yEAAOSw1oJdTo9u

Haven't seen one listed in years. The price lets me assume that this offer addresses customers that may use these drives in a production environment or so...
I am not aware of museums or hobbyists who have such drives currently in a functional state to read and write from and to 80MB (CDC 9762) or 300MB (CDC 9766) disk packs. Maybe the CHM? ... not taking into consideration the CHM activities related to the Xerox disk cartidge  (2315-equivalent) software archive project. 
Anybody out there? Would be interesting to know.

Best regards,
Pierre
