Mine died and I'd it apart, trashed the guts a bit, before I gave it away to some guy who needed computer parts to make a giant robot statue. I later sold the monochrome monitor to somebody for $10. I still have parts of the original packaging - using it to store Star Wars figures. Man!

You'll not make your fortune trying to sell them. Tons of Model 100’s on eBay, I’m afraid. You’ll not make your fortune trying to sell them.

Kinda funny that our iPhones are sort of a modern, smaller version of the Model 100...hell, that'd make a good iPhone skin/wallpaper...:) I’d bet you’d do well with those…if nothing else, foreign correspondents used to swear by them, because they could take any form of of abuse and come out swinging.

The snapshots showed garbage on the screen when powered up, which means the computer was fried. Yup, $4500 for a broken computer.

Still amazed it all worked too...you'd think something in there would have leaked or broken down after all this time in the pink plastic tomb.
