Old 5.25 Disk Drive wanted - Working or not

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone on here has a spare old disk drive lying around. Gort outbid at £20 for one on ebay the other day.

It's the kind that takes the 5.25" propper floppy disks (when they were actually floppy) and had a little lever that locked the disk in.

I'm not bothered if it works as i just need the plastc front facia off it for my KITT build. He had one of these in his lower console.

Any help appreciated.

Peter

I'll have a hake around. I assume colour doesn't matter?

Thanks. Nah, it'll be painted black anyway.

I'm fairly sure I'll have one in an old pc. I'll have a look also.

Sorry. I cant find one. I've got a couple of 3.5" FDD, if they are any good to you, but must of thrown out the older ones.

Ah bugger. No, I have a 3.5 but it doesn't cover the full length and it was the 5.25 he had in the show.

Thanks for looking though.

Peter.

Cheers. I'll stick that in my watch list as well.

They're usually grey-ish, but I, at least, appreciate your lack of discrimination. This is Stephen.
