Indeed.  15 years ago, I was able to save the 11/750 from work, but
could not find room for a pair of RK07s and a pickup-truck-load of
RK07 cartridges.  Those were good drives - easy to repair, decent
amount of storage for the day, fast.  Just don't get your fingers
behind the ears on the voice coil during a power-down - those heads
snap back *fast*!  (when the NiCd pack is good, that is).

Someone just got a fun little system to play with.  Hopefully we'll
hear what it's running and how it's loaded before too long.
