My experience is somewhat similar, Ron. I got my first PowerBook 1400 for
$10 (including a carrying case and power supply), and it worked like a
champ. I then bought a supposedly non-working PB1400 for $6 to get the
bookcover (my original did not have it). Found out AFTER bending the pins
in the socket that the display cables plug into on the MOBO that it
actually did work (although the display was then punked out). Salvaged
pieces off that one to repair three more PB1400's that I got for $20,
$10, and $5, respectively. So, for $51, I have 4 working Powerbooks and a
partial parts machine. Can't complain too much about that.

Cool moniker Winfidel. And this is all very interesting.
But I am learning nothing about what parts combinations vis a vie Pismo (
remember the PB mentioned in the subject line?) that I should avoid. And
any trickiness to assembly..

No help on that here, Adrian, sorry, my top machine is a 3400C (which I got
at a better price than the 1400 - a friend gave it to me because it wouldn't
power up. Turned out it had a bad power supply, nothing more). So I'm afraid
I don't know much about the Pismo.
Good luck with your FrankenPismo, Doctor. Didn't mean to 'semi-hijack' your
thread.... ;^{D
Re-titled subject line, accordingly.
Ciao,
Winfidel
