Subject: BBC Disc drives

Hi,

Does anyone have a BBC 40/80 track double sided drive that 
is spare?

I'm really looking either to borrow one or buy very cheaply.
I'm currently transferring over all my BBC discs, but am
being *plagued* by hardware problems.

My Challenger is intermittently reading side 0, but reads side
2 ok.  My Cumana is now playing up on side 0.  My discs are
generating load of disc faults (sob) and I'm losing discs left
right and centre...oh yes and my monitor is now playing up.

Since after I get this stuff transferred the Beeb will be packed
away for what I imagine will be a very long time, I dont want to
spend a lot on a drive.

Thanks in advance.
  
Cheers
Graham
