FS/WTB: Thinkpad 550BJ Parts/Project

[yyzkevin]

I purchased two 550BJ units and imported them from Japan with the intention to create one really good machine. I underestimated the mechanical complexity of these units and stopped before opening them and risking further damage. I paid quite a lot as my intention was for collecting not reselling, but I am uncertain when I will find the time to get to it with all my other projects so I thought I would put it out there in case somebody is out looking for this stuff.

Likewise, if you have one of these units in a parts/repair condition you are looking to offload I may purchase more so I have some room for error when I eventually got to it if nobody takes it off my hands.

Below are the two auctions that show the units:

So my asking price is $1200CAD ($875USD Today) which is exactly what I spent into it. Ships from Canada
