Too bad he's up in San Jose, that and I don't have even the $100 entrance fee to spare right now.

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 15:40:28 P.S. - My favorite thing in the lot is the rounded, Apple mini SCSI tower and two matching speakers in the second to last pic. I've been looking for one of those for a long time, and they rarely seem to come up on eBay. Oh hey, I just noticed it appears again in pic #6...and...wait a minute...WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING NEXT TO IT??? It looks like a detachable, biege, giant Duo keyboard and trackball assembly...?????? 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 16:16:12 That's what I was saying...what the heck is that thing in pic # 6? It looks like either some kind of intergrated, ADB keyboard/trackball that you'd put on your desk/lap and then connect to a desktop machine, or possibly some weird, beige powerbook part...I dunno. I really wish I had the money and time to drive up to NoCal to find out!!! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!
TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 16:16:20 Id go for that in a second oooo mini beige towers but no money nor ride there, but hey if someone is going to get this in the army, pick me up we can go to Apple , Cupertino is only 10 miles from there!

Graphite Goodness New Member USA 88 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 16:19:12 I'm gonna try to win it. My sisters boyfriend lives in San jose. All i gotta do is pawn my gamecube.
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 16:19:30 I'm looking at it again...it's definitely not a PowerBook part, I mean look, it has full function keys and a double-sized "return" key. If that came from a 'book, it would have to be bigger than a Titanium G4! Plus, I can see what looks like an ADB cord running under it, which I'm assuming is attached to it. I think it's wither some weird, prototype ADB keyboard or a third-party peripheral. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!

TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 16:31:16 It would be super eays in fresno to sell them, one day at the Cherry auction can rank in a lot, and also eBay, if you want ( just saying) I could take just a few stuff and you could get what u want and you can keep them here and we could auction off and u get your money i wouldn't really care but for a few bucks.

AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 18:01:16 I am almost certan that that keyboard is for an Apple Paladin, a very rare prototype that combined a Duo logic board and display, a printer, a fax machine, and a scanner, and a phone. The Paladin had a white keyboard, just like that one, with a trackball and two buttons, and a row of function keys on the top. If I am correct, than that keyboard is extremely rare, I believe the only Paladin sold on ebay went for several thousand dollars. AnubisTTP 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Macs Liberated:21

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 19:00:23 Now the question aboot that Paladin....is there MORE?? smiles a sly, evil grin So did we end up finding out if anyone is close enough to pick up? Perhaps a "joint effort" of money could be used to purchase this. I'd certain chip in a lil bit and see if tehre is anything good! ~The Optimistic Penguin \|Captain, Intelligence Operations\| There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path. 68k.torpedobird.com <-- Hotline Server
Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 19:10:24 The Paladin Keyboard theory seems to be the most plausable. See this picture and compare. And on the idea of a joint effort, I'd join up in the effort, but I think the only two within range of pickup are Cinemafia and TiMacLover, TiMac being closer, but without transportation. Somehow, I have a feeling that there will be few bids due to the forced pickup location, size of the load, and cost. ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff

Somehow, I have a feeling that there will be few bids due to the forced pickup location, size of the load, and cost. thas' zakly why i rushed so fast to call dibs on it when i saw cinemo had spotted it too, that i left the post formatted in pink! jus' when did you start scoping out peripherals so closely, charlimafia!?! HAR!™ i knew i'd seen a platinum hybrid keyboard recently! the $100 dollar entry fee offer stands, i'll have the greenback$ in hand after tomorrow! who'se gonn pick up an' distribute the swag? jt ™. .
Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 19:47:17 i just called dibs in the fritter forum too! asked if anybody over there wants in on the action and/or can make the pickup! lets try to get that swag, c.l. over there thinks one of the bosrds might be an interesting engineering sample. this'll probably go outta sight, but it'll be a fun few days dreaming about it! who's in? and whatcha want? jt ™. .

TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 22:00:49 I will pick it up and if I can get gas money, all I want is a mini tower. the rest and can be decided.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 23:55:28 Warning to all those who read these forums: As we know, Trash80, Graphite Goodness, TiMac, myself, and others have all expressed interest in a joint venture on this auction. Be careful where you spread your information. We don't need an influx of people bidding on this because it has a Rare Paladin Keyboard and a Rare PowerExpress logicboard, among others. For the sake of humanity, don't tell the world, especially the idiot selling this stuff! This is golden! [edit: and if we do go in as a joint venture, I call dibs on just the PowerExpress logicboard and matching processor card. ] ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff Edited by - Captain Z on 30 May 2002 23:57:18

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 31 May 2002 : 00:29:19 I suggest that before we start claiming multiple components, even without fully identifying them, we should catalog what we have here. This way everyone involved will have a better idea of what they are getting. So I would like to set a ground rule (at least I think I can), that you should only reserve 1 or 2 items before we have identified everything.

AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 31 May 2002 : 06:05:31 I would be interested in participating in this group buy. I would like one of the G3 style tower cases if it has a motherboard and powersupply in it, or one of the curved towers (6400) if the G3 cases are just cases.

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 31 May 2002 : 07:34:24 Ok gang, i got $20 in minimum. Like I said, I'm in on one of those towers (preferably a G3 one,if not a 6500 will do). Also I got a question. If you go to image #10....What ARE those two lil apple brand boxes NEXT to the SCSI box. Maybe I want those too....Hmm,anyone else got money in? On that note, does ANYone have enough money to bid and win this thing that all of us can then pay back?
