Hi all,

Simply looking for a black bezeled 5 1/4” drive for a PC project I’m doing. Located in New England. Don’t feel like paying the ridiculous $190 eBay prices for one. If you have any spares you’re willing to sell, let me know! Thanks so much!

Hopefully someone else can help. The only spare 1.2's I have are white/beige.

I considered painting one recently. You'd have to remove the bail arm, but there's a round plastic "sticker" in the hole which covers the screw. Does anyone know how to safely remove those? The only other time I attempted, I completely destroyed that round plastic piece.
 
JU-475 was available in black. I have also painted a few that still look good after 10 years. You can remove the faceplate and arm together.
