Leon posted a discussionOriginal Newton MessagePad (OMP) H1000 - Looking for battery holders, rechargeable packs, battery charger
Last week an OMP MessagePad fell into my hands.The unit came with 2 rechargeable battery packs (one is destroyed except for the plastic case), an in pieces battery recharger (I don't really trust this to function at all) and no battery holders for alkalines.I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere where I could find some battery holders, information on trying to re-cell the original NiCad battery packs and or the best way to recharge the NiCad packs.eBay doesn't have anything, and a lot of…See More
Leon replied to Chris Moore's discussion Rare Macintosh 128K prototype for sale on eBay"Seller also have a Lisa 1 with boxes. Must have some spare cash lying around to have acquired these.
If I won the lottery, I'd certainly add these to my collection."
Leon commented on Hillbillybear's blog post Sad days, but have to move on."I've cleaned out about 1/2 of my collection. Mainly iMac G3's that I didn't really need, Apple clones and beige systems such as 5500's and 5400's. I was happy to just give them away really as they weren't…"
Leon replied to James's discussion Episode 232: MacTwiggy"I was quite surprised to hear that the unit was sold so quickly after purchase. I hope a little bit of the small fortune that was paid for the 128k proto is passed onto the original owner.
If only we were so lucky here in Australia to…"
Leon replied to James's discussion Episode 224: Apple Design"Just received my copy of the Apple Design book and for the price (~US$37) I can't complain. It was a little disappointing not to have any close up pictures of the various features of each computer/device and a description on why they are…"
Leon replied to Michael's discussion Send in the Clones!"Well, the buyer still hasn't contacted me yet. Will give them until tomorrow evening, then I'll probably relist them. I want them to go to someone who'll repair/restore them as I don't have the time anymore with a new baby.

Heather said… - Hi Leon,
That's a very nice collection and very nicely displayed! I like how you did your photos in black and white with the colored Apple logos.
You have a few iMac G3s I don't have: Sage is the one I really wanted but just don't have the room for now. I've had two Snows but gave them away since it looks too much like Flower Power and Dalmatian from the front side anyway. Right now I have an extra tray loading Lime sitting on the floor (for about 3 or 4 months now) that a friend got from the school where she teaches. I already had one when she gave it to me but I couldn't let it go to the trash! It does have a really cool virtual frog dissection program that we had great fun playing (I hated the real dissections in school so this is way better!! No real frogs died and no smell!!).
You'll have to post some more photos of the rest of the iMacs. I love to see how other people display their Macs.

macmedic said… - Yes, I got the PB Duo 250 (Yay!). And get this. I recently found in my clean up a Lacie external ADB FM tuner. So I have a solution for me, you need to find one of these now!
(I Didn't know such a thing existed til I found this, I still need to locate the driver disks in the boxes of stuff I have)

- Thats great that you got FM radio going. FM works on mine as the US use the same frequencies as we do. What I need is the PAL TV tuner.

Lars (WhyOSX) said… - Good morning ! I just tried to find out how the shipping costs to Australia are - in the other direction they seem quite moderate. I can't believe that our services here will offer similar conditions, even for such a small item.
If I were you, I'd bid on this:

- A few notes on the PAL TV.
There really aren't too many vintage Macs on Australia's eBay dept.
Any 5200 here goes for a ridiculously low price, often at starting bid (1€).
I may slaughter one for you - but the TV/FM combo is extremely rare here, too.
Usually these cards are found in 5500 systems only, I don't know exactly (the TAM IS a 5500 system).
I have my eyes on eBay UK, Netherlands and Germany, sometimes (but only as a matter of interest) in the States. They ARE rare.
