But it was doing this since new?
That I can't say since I only owned it for about a year and in 2005 schools around where I lived at the time were tossing them left and right.

Oh, well. I'll have to fix it up someday, with new plastics and stuff (could the inner bezels from a newer, hopefully less disintegrated iMac G3 be used on this old 1999 model of mine?
So long as you're doing like-for-like (tray for tray, slot for slot) I think they're interchangeable.  I almost want to say the internal CRT plastics in the iMacs are "Spindler's Revenge" since I've seen a whole lot of them that are just splintered to pieces.  One of them was so bad the CRT "adjusted" like it did in the Monitor //, though the tray loaders seem to be stronger than the slot loaders.
