Greetings,
Does anyone know where I can get Newton parts? Specifically, what I require are a MP 120 battery compartment cover and a stylus. I believe that these parts are interchangable between the 110-130 Newtons. Heck, I'll even buy a broken Newton if I have to. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.

There are a number of sites to look through that will refer you to parts suppliers:
<http://hometown.aol.com/thisolnewt/>
<http://www.info-newt.com/>
<http://newted.dyndns.org/>
<http://www.kc.net/~drnewton/>
You may be able to find some sources there. And don't forget to try Apple. They still service Newtons and provide some parts.

Try www.sunrem.com . They have parts for about every old Mac in stock and lots of Newton parts. I think they are out of the battery covers, however, because I checked the other day for my 130 and they didn't have any.

Another option is to try to find a glove for your 120. They are a little more expensive than the cover, but they keep the batteries in AND keep your Newt looking nice. I have one and it serves both purposes.

Greetings,
Thanks to all who responded with links and suggestions. I've tried everyone but Apple and I'll try them soon.
It's too bad that NewtonOz is out of business as they had the parts I need at great prices. I'm just a few months late.
