PowerBook 160 parts
Posted by: mvallance on 2025-01-28 21:22:18
I have a PowerBook 160 - Japanese keyboard - in bits. Shall I trash it? If anyone wants these parts you are welcome but will have to pay for the shipping (from Japan). No battery though 😕

don't trash it! it's got what looks like a 120 MB hard drive (hard to find), what looks like 12 MB of RAM (hard to find) and a screen that, while its caps may have leaked, will very likely be at least salvageable. Depending on whether the drive works, these parts alone should yield > 100 USD on eBay.

Thank you. I won't throw it away. Hopefully someone will take it as I am only seeking postage coverage.

FYI, original poster still has this available. I am posting this as I had replied with a "PM sent" and I don't want to discourage anyone else from inquiring about these parts 🙂
