Well, I recently saw Hap selling a Portable for a pretty good price, so I snatched it up! It has a few cosmetic issues, but not in places too noticeable when sitting on my shelf. It does need work, and I will be recapping it as well as having the battery repacked. I paid $140 shipped for everything.
The box was pretty beat up. Once I cut the tape I tore a small amount of cardboard and the box just fell apart like this:
Hap said he didn't want to include the case unless I spent a little more, but to my surprise, it was in the case! I bet it wouldn't have survived if it wasn't in the case.
Looks like there isn't any shipping damage! The center piece of the display was missing when he shipped it. Any idea where to get another one?
I expected this, as he told me about it. Since it's on the bottom I don't care a lot about it.
Looks pretty good, the clips that hold the screen down are missing, but he pointed that out as well.
He also threw in the adapter. Do these need to be recapped?
