Ok I have quite a few good parts that I have as spares for my other laptops, extra stuff and good Powerbooks I am looking to get rid of before I move from Arizona to Washington. I have the following:

Powerbook G4 1.13ghz (Overclocked of Course) TiBook:
1.45V and 1.13Ghz Speed The about me does not show this but the chip moves have been done on the board ^-^
60gigHD
512Mb PC133
DVD/CDRW
No Dead Pixels Radeon 9000 32MB
Airport Card
Good Paint a few small spots but you have to look for them.
A/C Adaptor White Generic, Just bought less then 2 weeks ago.
Also just ordered a White iBook Keyboard to swap the keys out with for a different look. Thats included as well.


Powerbook G4 800MHZ DVI TiBook: (without airport card) SOLD
I bought this unit for the hinges and the screen as the hinges on my screen were not holding up.
However when I got it I found some problems.
800Mhz DVI (Fully works I will guarn Not DOA but needing chip mentioned in #2 Below)
Good Screen has Keyboard Marks very noticeable (See Info #1 Below)
Has ram but around 160MB if not less 2 Sticks
No HD
DVD/CDRW
No A/C Adaptor (But I have a Never used black one for the unit that can be included)
Airport Card (Being offered Sep now)

1) The screen tests great from Simutek reports, no dead pixels does have the keyboard wear on it, bezel and hinges are great however the ribbon cable needs some atten.

It works however there was a small plastic end on it that plugs in, its not there now, the tech said to replace the whole cable or you can use something non-conductive and small you just have to get it in place and be careful.

I ended up finding a way to fix my other hinge so now I don't need this.

2) I also have a complete and working Powerbook G4 Ti 800MHZ DVI motherboard. It works perfectly and was tested in my 867. It comes with the full bottom bezel which includes everything but the hard drive. (CDRW/DVD, All case parts and an unknown battery that I expect to be bad). However when testing the above screen I did not notice the screen problem before I plugged it into the Board and a small chip on the board was lost. (See thread here it was on my 867 that it was lost I replaced it with the 800's chip and the 867 works fine so this system is completely fine just needs the same chip which can be seen in the Mac hack Section.)
Now this is not a huge concern. I have replaced this chip before on powerbook ti's it an easy repair and I can have it done to this unit. Bad boards on eBay normally have this chip in great condition and go for 15.00-30.00. So for that and the repair cost you have a completely functional Powerbook waiting for HD and Ram. (You must cover the cost of everything though I can just connect you with the shop that did mine.)

CDRW/DVD's I did not check on but the fact that everything is here but the HD and Ram says this unit could be a great Laptop again with just some extra parts and work.

This is really a nice deal for anyone who works on powerbook G4's or is just looking to upgrade there current G4 Powerbook.

It could be a great system or a parts system, either way.

Powerbook G3 Wallstreet 300Mhz: Alone 80.00 with unit below and all extras 115 shipped.
300Mhz Processor
13.3 Screen has a Line through it.
I seem to remember this being a cable issue but I bought a 14.1 Screen of eBay to replace it. It comes with the bezel and all but I did not pay enough atten and it did not come with hinges so after testing that it works with no problems It has just been sitting and my wife uses it with the 13.3.
256MB+ of ram. There is a stick of 256 and I am not sure what the other stick is maybe 64MB.
30Gig HD
CDROM
Modem
Floppy
A/C Adaptor Hockey Puck

This laptop works great, I use XpostFacto 4 to load OS X Tiger. I ran an update to tiger after the 10.4.7 combo update and now its not booting into Tiger so i am got bored and just put Jaguar back on it cause it was easier.

Powerbook G3 Wallstreet 300Mhz: 45.00
300Mhz Processor
12.1" Screen No problems
Modem
2 Batterys (Believed bad)
Unknown ram and I believe the HD is removed but everything else is there
Ran just fine, came with the 13.3 screen I was told it was a 14" and was going to use its hinges... when i found out it was a 13.3 I just used that screen for my wifes. I also bought an extra 300mhz G3 card that was lost in the mail but finally arrived so I switched the 233mhz one with that 300mhz (The G3 is also available and listed below).

This laptop basically needs a HD and some further ram and it could run os X just fine to.

Powerbook Unknown 500Series model thats PowerPC: (Pending to Macefan I believe the user name is)
Seems to be an apple prototype.
I know it has a PowerPC and it had a gray scale screen but I used a screen from a 540c (Parts machine which is included as well) and now it has color however when I switched the HD's I needed to reinstall and do not have a SCSI CDROM for it.
I know the Ram is maxed and I even have an extra Ram module that also is the max size you could get. It works to.

Macintosh Parts, mainly Powerbook items:
Powerbook G3 Wallstreet 233 no Cache Processor Card Guarn. Not DOA 5.00
Powerbook G3 14" Wallstreet Screen, Good to go Guarn. not DOA 45.00
40Gig Laptop HD Guarn. not DOA 40.00
Apple Airport Card Works great not DOA 80.00 (Traded locally for a 1yr .Mac Membership)
Powerbook 500series Ram Stick I believe 48MB I remember it being the Max Available. Guarn. not DOA. 13.00

------------In Trade----------
Powerbook G4 Alumn 15" or 17"
512MB Sticks of SD PC133 for TiBooks
iLife06
SuperDrive for my 867 Ti Book
1Ghz TiBook MB
White iBook Keyboard (I have seen the keys swapped on TiBooks with the white ones I want to do that to my Ti Book)
Lombard Powerbook G3 for my wife must have a DVD Drive Decorder Card not needed
Now my wife wants a Clamshell iBook Prefs Lime but likes them all I will trade the G3 Books and 500PPC for one
Maybe a Video iPod not sure though.

Other items can be offered the weirdest things can interest me.

----Update Pictures----

I think I tried reading through this twice and got really confused... So are you trying to sell it or part it out? How much?

I will part it out if most of the parts have an interested party.

basically i want someone to take it as a whole unit or have enough of an interest in all the parts to pull spec items off to sell.

I don't have room for it and it needs to go. I will be moving for a new job in Sept. So I am clearing things out.

(I will also soon be post a Powerbook 500 PowerPC with no other model information on it and a parts machine 540c as well as 2 Powerbook G3 Wallstreet 300mhz and other extras. I will probably ask 180 for all three laptops but I need to check on the prices.)

I will also take trades and can add things to this laptop:

I have 2 x 256 PC133 in my laptop. If someone has some 512 PC133 Sticks they want to trade for this deal I can throw them in with this laptop.

I also have a good 40Gig 4200rpm HD. I can throw that in as well if you have some good items to trade.

If someone wants to trade a 1Ghz or Above 15" PB G4 I will throw in a Ti Book 867mhz Complete with Airport card as well. (My Current Laptop).

Other trade items I am looking for:
iLife06
SuperDrive for my 867 Ti Book
1Ghz TiBook MB
Lombard Powerbook G3 for my wife (She has 2 wallstreet G3 300's that I would like to see go for just one unit.)

Other items can be offered the weirdest things can interest me.

Open to offers on the parts or I will just put it on eBay.

Someone has some spare parts around and can get this bad boy up and running. I would even be interested in a fried DVI MB and I will fix it for sale.

So if anyone has a bad DVI MB let me know I will give you some cash for it and make this system run again.

If you decide to part out the Wallstreet let me know how much you think the small AC board (the one with the audio ports as well) is worth.

Just an FYI:

The max RAM that you can buy for the 500 series is 32MB. The system can have more RAM but it depends on what is on the processor card. Some processor cards had RAM while others didn't.

So how much do you want for the 500 series PB? They aren't worth that much I believe, I would take it to get it off your hands.

Umm you cover shipping and say 15.00 for it? Hows that ^-^

On the audio board umm... I don't know I was asking 43.00 shipped for the 12" wallstreet not sure what they really go for so I thought that was not bad since shipping and packing is about 23.00.

I will see if I have some extra stuff hanging out for it though.

Ok so its a 32MB, thanks it must have been 48MB as the ram installed. But i have the max one installed and second one just sitting there unused.

I will look for the PM on the 867. ^-^

Let me try and get some. I have not tried using my Cam with OS X yet but I assume this is one thing that will def be painless unlike the evil linux HD I had to deal with and eventually lose all my files on. (Damn thing)

Also I sent you a response on the PM.

My Wife now wants a iBook Clamshell instead of a Lombard Powerbook so I am looking for both. Color is not to important but she likes the Lime one.

Thanks guys. If you just come across one let me know.

Airport and DVI is sold, iBook Keyboard ordered for the TiBook and I finished its Overclock to 1.2Ghz much nicer!

So its still up on the block with a much faster Processor.

but after all that I would still just like an Alum maybe a 1Ghz 15" and I can figure out how to OC that lol. Thanks!!!

I am lowering the processor to 1.13Ghz and leaving it at 1.45v for now.

At 1.2 the processor has just started giving me problems with staying stable so 1.50v is probably needed and unless I can really change to full copper heatsinks and maybe some better fans its just not a good setup for the powerbook.

Plus 1.13 will give better battery life.

For now I am running it on reduced processor and I just reloaded tiger and reset everything to see if that was the cause.

Either way I am really interested in a Powerbook G4 Alum 1Ghz 15" or a iBook 14" 933Mhz or so. Basically I need a 60gig 5400rpm in the unit or I need to keep my HD.

I will be home tomorrow I took a vacation to the mountains (Hell of a time top find out its the voltage thats causing it suddenly to be unstable... blah). So I will be on more then.

Thanks!!!
