It's in rough condition but with a starting price of $250 might be a good deal for someone who wants to restore it.

It's still early...I'm guessing the price will go up...

And hopefully those "right hands" will be mine.





Certainly my kind of project.

I clicked on the image, and an enlargement revealed the secret!

Thanks Henry... I didn't see the magnifying glass when I clicked on the image the first time 'round...

Well, I didn't get it, and I know there was at least one other board member bidding and another who was at least interested who didn't get it, so did the lucky winner come from this board?


And for the record, eBay's mobile app is not very good for sniping.

It wasn't me. I had no interest in the drive. Besides, I would have felt bad about jumping ship on the remains of what I have. Ha!
