Heathkit H27 Dual Floppy Drive
Lot’s to describe here so read on....
I got this H27 along with an H11A shell. I had planned to restore both but won’t get around to these for a while so I’m selling to free up the space on my bench. The H11A is in a separate listing and not included here.... look for that listing if you’re interested.
This H27 has dual floppy drives and is in pretty nice cosmetic shape. See the photos. Looks like someone may have started a refurb on the ...exterior previously but regardless it’s better than decent.
Both drives spin up ! The left side drive latching unit seems to operate fine. The right side has issues. It opens and closes but it’s clearly not right. When I got this unit there was some rattling inside. When I opened it up the 2 springs and the broken plastic part were inside (see the last photo). Obviously these are from the right side latching unit. I will include these parts in the sale in case these are useful to you.
The other issue I found is the AC power switch on the rear. It works but it NEEDS to be replaced. I circled the switch in the picture.
I have not tested these drives because I have no way to do so.
The pictures show everything and please ask questions if you have them.
Vintage item so no returns. This item is HEAVY. I’m willing to ship but it will be costly hence the high shipping cost. I will refund back to you any overage on the shipping cost. I will also offer local pickup here in northern NJ.
Check my feedback and bid with confidence!
