nephew 2 gets in a fight with nephew 3 today, and in the ensuing fight, the tray on the xbox stops working...the owner of the xbox (nephew 2) is now inconsolable about the damn thing.

anyone in town that might possibly fix these things?

What vintage xbox? Son two collects them for parts when people give up or dump them to repair them for others. He is out.of town until Sunday but could text him ask ask if he has drive. Probably only white 360s would be my guess of in stock.

Son 2 says that barring UmustBKidding's solution, it has to go to Microsoft, unless you have an external CD player that could be plugged into the USB port.... and that might work.

M$ is greedy when it comes to XBOX. They make it difficult to change the drive out. You can pull one from another box but it has to be ' flashed ' with the exact key from the original. You might try this question in the Nerdery where they could at least tell you what is required and then ask who locally could do it. You might also try calling Gamestop and see if they have any recommendations. Honestly though those are getting so cheap its definitely more worth it to just go buy another one (even perhaps a refurbished) vs the repair charge on an old unit more likely to break for another reason sooner or later.

I would call FX Games in the shopping center with Kohls and Specs. They've fixed several older systems for us. They're reasonable and knowledgable.
