hard drive repair service, at Trenton Computer Festival?
In 2017 or 2016, at the Trenton Computer Festival, one of the "flea market" vendors was a hard drive repair service. They had a table covered with opened-up hard drives. Does anyone have a name and point of contact for that vendor? The TCF (TCNJ) Web site doesn't have lists of vendors, barely tracks previous TCF's at all. This is about an 8-inch hard drive, by Priam. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or discussion - just a repair service. I can search the Web, so I'm not asking for that. But if someone knows of a large hard-drive repair service still active today, I'd like to know. Contact me via my Web site (see below) or privately at my email posting address. I suppose we can discuss these services "here" in the list but mostly this is a commercial request. Herb Johnson -- Herbert R. Johnson, New Jersey in the USA http://www.retrotechnology.com OR .net
I would like to know also, if anyone has the info. I have a scsi hard drive from my Amiga 2000 I'd love to get back up and running to get my data off. On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 4:00 AM, Herb Johnson via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

All I can say is hopefully it is a “real” repair service. Many places say they offer hard drive repair, when it’s mainly a data recovery “software” solution that the majority of them truly offer. Many years ago, I did work for a place with the clean room, replacing motors/head assemblies, etc. They (as well as the majority of suppliers of parts) are long gone, or moved into other business sectors. I know you said you’re not looking for a discussion, but just wanted to let you know the place I KNEW of doesn’t exist. I wasn’t at the past TCF, I’m just curious if it’s someone I knew from when I worked doing it.

Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
