2 external 3.5 floppy drives for $1.50!!!

Posted by: krye on 2011-06-20 19:20:14 These were mixed in with a bunch of cables, mice, apple talk stuff, mics, etc being sold on eBay. I guess a lot of people passed it up assuming it was just a bunch of old cables. But if you clicked through the pictures posted these 2 gems popped out. I waited until the last minute and put in my bid. I scored the whole lot for $1.50! The drive covers are pretty yellow: I dropped them in some peroxide/oxy: Waited a few hours..... ....and the results were dramatic: They feel right at home wth my Plus and SE.
