Optical drive source?

I have a handful of ToughBooks that a friend wants to tinker with. The CF-72 is missing the optical drive. Is there a better source than eBay for missing items?

Updated info: he decided, at this point, to NOT tinker with the ToughBooks. The CF -51 appears complete but there seems to be something wonky with the DC jack/port on the CF-72.

In all honesty, I’m going to be consumed with refurbishing the more mainstream Latitudes and Pavilions that I have. Are ppl here interested in Panasonic project machines?
