I found a 3B1 I didn't know I had in the attic last week. It was
brand new in the box, never opened till last week. I thought I'd
gotten rid of all my old computer stuff in 2005. This one slipped
by. I opened it up and installed the foundation system. It works
like a charm. A little history is in order. Back around 1996 I
purchased four new 7300's from a warehouse in Chicago. I forget the
man who sold them to me but he bought a slew of these when AT&T dumped
them. I gave three away kept one thinking I'd get around to playing
with it one day. In 2005 I got rid of a bunch of stuff I'd collected
over the years - most ended up in the dumpster I am sad to say.

It was really neat to open up one that had never seen the light of
day. Jeez, the ball for the mouse had it's own little slot in the
styrofoam of the mouse packing. The documentation and floppies were
all sealed away. While the documentation booklets were crisp, the
labels on the floppies had 'sweated' a bit and no longer stick to the
diskettes. All work though. Of course the internal battery does not
work. Something happened to the neck of the monitor and it is
slightly detached - i.e. rolls around in it's cup atop the computer.
I put a piece of rag in the cup and that holds the monitor nicely.
The plastic is not discolored in any way and it looks, well, brand
new.

I am considering selling it. I have no use for it and will offer it
up here to the highest bid beyond my reserve price of $350.00 plus
shipping. I'll have to take some pictures for those interested.
Bidding will end on June 1 (not too sure how active this group is
anymore). I reserve the right to put this on ebay and I will notify
the group if I do so. It will be delivered in the original packing
just as I found it. I will rebox the box to protect it during
shipping. Continental United States only. Email me if interested -

If you planned on selling it you never should have opened it.
