Hey gang,
It's been years since I was last marching with the 68kMLA but after some time foolishly spent not toying around with 68k Macs I found that I missed my old Powerbook 170 too much and succumbed to the charms of a Powerbook 180 on Craigslist. When I first got the 180 the screen was starting to show tunnel vision and, fortunately, I was able to find a new screen that does not have the problem but I got to thinking... Are there any replacement screens on the market today that could be purchased brand new to give new life to these old active-matrix Powerbooks? I've been searching the internet hoping to find an answer and so far it seems that nobody has offered up either a) a supplier who still sells the original LCD or b) a new compatible replacement alternative. Anybody got any pointers? We are rapidly running out of Powerbook 170's and 180's and I kind of feel a personal mission to find a solution to this.
Thanks in advance!
