[rescue] Gah, why don't they just give them away?

[Corda Albert J DLVA]

I picked up one of the first ones this guy put up on ebay...
it had a "buy-it-now" price of $199 (I think his buy-now
price has gone up a bit, but not much :-)  Shipping was
about $35.00, and he delivered relatively quickly. My guess
is that he has a few of these, and is posting them one or
two at a time.

I haven't powered it up yet, but I did completely disassemble
the critter to clean it (it needed a _really_ good cleaning).
It was in relatively good shape.  175 Mhz CPU, earliest
rev. motherboard (the -003 one), Lucent power supply, SI graphics.
Case was a bit scuffed up, but no broken plastic. I _think_ the
light bar is dead, but I'm not concerned as I intend to replace
the bulbs with LEDs anyway.  I also happen to have a spare sled,
so hopefully, everything will go together nicely.

BTW, I now know how to take one of these completely apart,
if anyone is interested. (Of course, I won't know if I killed
it until I power it up ;-)
