701CS Port replicator shipping damage.

#1 Post by Electrohacker » Thu Jan 30, 2025 11:51 am

Just bought a 701CS and the seller didnt use any packing material. Fortunately the computer and floppy drive are fine, but the port replicator took one small cosmetic hit and then I also noticed a piece of plastic missing from the dock connector and the pins are flapping in the breeze. Anyone know a source of those plugs? or one similiar to them?

**[start flame]**
well, hello mr electrohacker.. lets see, those old 701 port replicators have a weakness in that little hook that keeps it attached to the 701 case..
i USED to have several dozen of those but sold most all my 701's and such to another forum member..
now YOU come along and disrespect this forum, which is [censored] free, with no paywall and [censored] play games with me when all i ask is your location city and state or country.. thats all you "pay" to belong..
you are the second in a month to play games, that other fellow is banned, permanently, i think..
SO i have been thinking how do i stop spammers, trolls and the like..? well, easy, PAYWALL
either you have a paypal account or all you can do is look and maybe not even that..
this will take a lot of unpaid work and other crap off my shoulders..
or just close up shop after 30+ years..
YOU, electrohacker, will be able to read this for a while, others can read it and know what is going on..
**[END flame]** for now
