In those days, some disk drive heads were even driven by motor oil. A massive drive was maybe 5 Mb. Disk platters back then were the same color as magnetic tape. Not the shiny surfaces now found inside today's 3.5 inch drives.
Most useful item is a scrapped drive - its magnets. Often most required tool to open them - torq wrenches of odd sizes such as T-8 or T-9.
Disk platters make lousy frisbees. They do too much damage.
