[Eug-lug] Hardware Related: Any Tape Drives Available???

[nyal]

Greetings All,

I've got a friend at work that's looking for old tape drives.  He's into RC 
airplanes and can rewind the motors from old tape drives into some pretty hot 
RC motors for his planes.

Goodwill, St. Vinnies, etc have been a bust so far.  Thought that someone on 
the list might know where there might be some available locally on the cheap.

He's bought them off the 'net for cheap (.50 or less) the hassle is the 
shipping ($8-$10 or more per drive) and supposedly he can buy ready wound 
motors for less...It's a DIY type of thing.

Thought that someone on the list might have a suggestion, he's willing to buy 
any and all he can locate.

Thanks,
