Hello List,
I've just had a clear Newton 110 (at least that's what the rear
sticker says) in a sealed clear plastic bag come into my life. Searching
the web and eBay for info I've discovered that some of these might have
been re-cased gray (black) 110's or even 130's. If it is a true 110, I'd
probably make sure some collector could love it instead of me (I've
already got a collection of expensive things and don't need another).
However, if it is a re-cased model I'd probably open it and enjoy it. It
is just the MP itself, no other accesories or box. And I have no idea
who put it in the bag, whether it was Apple, or someone with a "bagger
thingy". I've seen items from my "other item" collection come from
repair places in sealed bags. There is another sticker above the Newton
110 one that says CFA Engineering, for service call 1-800-xxx-xxxx PST.
I've found a clear 130 on the internet at
http://www.a-in-a-circle.com/newton/n130.html that has this same CFA
sticker and the card PC switch in the same location, but the guy who
posted it, Axel Muhr, is no longer available at the given addresses.
My dilemma, how can I tell which it is without opening the bag? Any
ideas? In my other collection, serial numbers on the outside and inside
are clues to value and authenticity of limited run color variations. Any
such handle in the Newton World? Like certain chips, switches, or color
of internal parts etc. that are a giveaway?.
Thanks in Advance, David L. Duff.
