rare 15" R61i on ebay

#1 Post by TPFanatic » Fri Aug 19, 2016 11:58 am

I am not affiliated with the seller.

I happened upon this rare 15" R61i while browsing feebay. With a Flexview it'd be an ideal Frankenpad for anyone who doesn't mind the extra thickness of an R-Series. Just posting about it here since it's a rare and interesting model.

The machine sold for $39, hope a forum member got it. Pretty cool to see that it made it to the USA, as that's where it shipped from. Very cool. Now I need to remind myself that I already have a 15" R50p who would get jealous of a newcomer....

It seems to have been a R61, not R61i.

Indeed.

Nevertheless, it was a steal not to mention a *very* rare opportunity to grab an exceptional base for an unconventional Franken-build....

If the pictures were legit, then it actually was a 4:3 R61.

EDIT: Where did Zaz's post go??? :eek:

Darn it. That's the one I bid on, I really should have made my max bid higher, I lost it at the last minute. I ended up making a WTB in the Marketplace here after finding I didn't win it after all.... shouldn't have assumed I was safe in those last 10 minutes!
