Looking for an old WD2500JB or WD3200JB-00KFA0

I'm looking for a donor for the following drive

WD2500JB-00KFA0
Date: May 2005
DCM: ****CTJ**
Country: Malaysia
Headmap: 0 1 3 4 5

However I know that a WD3200JB-00KFA0 will work too, and is likely to have all the right heads even if I don't need them all.

Anyone have either of these disks and willing to part with it for a reasonable price? It's a second donor for what's looking like a lost cause, so I can't afford to spend much on it. It's a cheap old drive, but none of the right ones on ebay at the moment.

What do you think of this one ? Or this one, and even one from ebay

Yes, I found two of those yesterday after I posted this. Hadn't really though to check for the 300GB size until I looked through collected resources for others in this same family.

I also found a $30 one on ebay. It's from Thailand instead of Malaysia, but worth checking to see if it's the same heads now that PC-3000 can do that. Fortunately this customer is in no hurry, so I can take a chance on cheaper parts.
