Mendon #1 Posted December 17, 2003 Posted this in the Marketplace forum but thought I would do it here also in case there are some who don't venture there. (I hope the moderators don't mind; if I'm out of line, please delete the message, no prob at all). Like a scene from the 3 Stooges, I lost my Falcon030 Monday night. Was moving things around in several rooms and my neighbor and I were moving a heavy bookcase out of my Atari room. The bookcase slipped out of the grasp of my neighbor and he dropped it on his foot (bruised but nothing broken). He fell backwards and hit a table containing my Falcon, 1435, and other computer gear. Table tips over and both 1435 and table land on top of Falcon, crushing the case and cracking the motherboard almost in two. I'm conducting a memorial service for the Falcon this Thursday and am now in need of a replacement. I know I can buy another one from a vendor but I don't want (or to be more accurate, am unable) to spend that type of money. So thought I would ask if anyone has a Falcon they might want to sell. Nothing fancier than a stock (4/80) is necessary and would like to keep the price around $350 or willing to go a little higher. Bid on one on eBay last night but lost it by $5 at $362 winning bid. Maybe I'm dreaming but thought I would ask. Thanks in advance! Mendon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belboz #2 Posted December 17, 2003 Thats too bad. Sorry to hear that. I am on the quest for a Falcon myself. Sounds like you need one worse than me. So everyone make Mendon a good deal, and then someone jump in later and make me one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
