B&B Engineering 8" Dual Floppy Disk Drive Qume Qumetrak 842 S-100 Z80 CP/M Computers.
I opened the top metal case. There was not much dust or dirt but I took an air compressor and blew out as much dust and dirt as I could. The drive has two Qume Qumetrak 842 8" Disk Drives. When I powered up the unit the fan started up along with both disk drive motors spun which was a very good sign. This is as far as I have tested it. The two dri...ves would not release when I pushed the front level. It possibly indicates that both of the 8" Floppy Disks that are in the drive are warped and thus the drive won't release and I could not get the disk out. Someone who knows a lot more about me will figure out how to get both those disk out.
Overall, it looks to be in really nice shape. However, do to the ago, weight, and unable to test it fully; I am selling as-is with no returns.
eBay policies leave me with no choice but to mark each of my auctions with a “no return” policy. This is being done to protect me against returns such as (buyer’s remorse). After using the item for days and weeks, the buyer can submit a return and is not obligated to reimburse the seller for shipping charges and I have to pay for shipping charges back. Even though it is marked a “no return, “a buyer can still submit a return if the item was not as described or the item was damaged during shipping. Also, I do not need an eBay policy to do what is right and accept the item back if it wasn’t as described or damaged during shipping. Keep in mind, that I mainly sell vintage computers and vintage computer accessories. That said even though the box/item may not show damage, the internal mechanism may have been damaged or jarred from a rough truck and/or plane ride. I will work with ALL my customers to resolve the problem. Recently, I have had to take back items where the buyer didn’t check with mom/dad, husband/wife, or God prior to buying and did a return. eBay forced me to take the item back. Personally, I do not think that this is an acceptable way to return items. Many of the sellers on here are just trying to provide for their families and this kind of previous return is not fair to the seller. We are not Walmart or Costco that cannot absorb these financial damages. Again, I will work with all my costumers to ensure that they are happy with the item they purchased. Thank you for your patronage.
