Hi Tony
Thats interesting I had thought about a model makers lathe.
I have a pillar drill and the usual set of tools.
I did start out as a mechanical engineer and my

I bought that drive and a Kennedy 9610 (which I'm keeping for myself) at the
recycler who has the System/32. I saw them under a pile and snatched them

I tried measuring a whole bunch of circles, and I can't find any rational
reason why dividing the circumference by the diameter never came out even! :-)

The good news:
The drive powers up. Initially

That's correct. There are seven 7-segment displays on the front, with 6

Well that works out. I've got a couple Of dssi controllers now. Not sure
what that 50 pin cable could have gone to either. I have not opened the top
half of the machine yet.
Thank you for the pictures of where the battery are. I was looking on the
main cpu board itself. Ive yet to take that apart

Unfair advantage! Johnny might actually have driven through Hagfors or

That helps.
1. The hub measures about 11mm so I should be able to get a 10mm

2. What type of glue is best?
3. You can see how thick the old one was but yours seems a little
