Hi

As I now apparently found my long sought after 700C, I would like to see if I can find a battery for it. I have no intentions of ever trying to run it off of a battery, but I'm looking to fill the open hole that's there when the battery is removed. So even if I find a battery with cells still present, I'll probably gut it and use the plastic case only.

I'm currently in the US, so if someone in the US has one for sale, you can avoid international shipping if you can get it mailed to Idaho before Saturday the 16th of July.

Thank you!

Hi Bjorn.

Went looking....WAY back of the closet...one New Old Stock 53G9140 (10.8V, 2.9 AH) Ni-Mh Battery for your 700C. Original IBM Field Accessory Kit.... box, original packing, battery end-cap, etc, with LED Status Indicators. Box is a bit shop-worn, battery still in the plastic bag inside the Styrofoam cut-out.

Pics available if you require them.

Unfortunately I'm in Ontario, Canada, and it would be impossible ( read "impossibly expensive") to get it to Idaho by the weekend. Possibly by slow boat to Norway to cut down on the shipping?

Let me know in case you're absolutely stuck....Hopefully someone on the forum from the U.S. will be able to help you out.

Regards.

Dave

Hi Dave

When it comes to something like that, I could definitely be interested, even if I have to pay for shipping to Norway. So let me know what price we're looking into for this item, and we'll discuss the payment options and the shipping specifics.

Thanks for the offer!

Bjorn.

Can you PM your complete home address back to me?

I'll get several 99%-accurate shipping quotes based on weight, package size, etc, and we can go from there.

I'll also get a few pics of the battery/packaging up on Dropbox and send you the link.

Unfortunately, I WON'T be able to even get to the estimate or pics until this weekend, simply too much going on at work until Friday....Sorry 'bout that!

Thanks. Dave
