Apple Powerbook 150 parts and accessories

As so many of you have done, I have had a cleanup in the very full garage and am able to offer a couple of boxes of mostly PB150 parts including power adapters, screens, keyboards, trackball assemblies, HDDs and FDDs. Plus I have an extensive library of Motorola component manuals etc.
I am hoping to trade these for anything Powerbook 500 series related ie.. parts, aaui to RJ45 dongles, expansion bay modules, type II or III PCMCIA cards. My pet project is my "new" Powerbook 520c" if you hadn't guessed and I'm looking to build a few software projects around this platform.
If nothing else, I would (and my wife?!?) like this available gear to go to a good home - please PM me! Cheers!

No bites yet! I have started to strip down and "scrap" parts slowly but there are many modules still intact. In other news, my 520c is going extremely well! Current project is to setup and run Retrospect and backup to an external 1Gb SCSI drive. I initially thought the best way to keep backed up was to create a disk image with Disk Copy, but man that takes hours and hours. Better to incrementally backup and I haven't played with the Dantz software much so should be fun!!!

Change of tack, I will switch to "Vintage Items Wanted" and ask for any dead PB150s!
