I pieced this collection together over the course of a
few months, and I've had my fun with it. Rather than
let it sit around, I'd rather somebody else put it to
use, either for actual utility or just novelty.
Anyhow, about the items:
The original metal stylus is included. The previous
owner jammed in a replacement tip rather badly, but
you can either round this one off or do a better
replacement.
Also included is an orange plastic stylus. The
click-in click-out stylus storage slot and pop-out
ring holder in the Newton hangs on to this just fine,
and the tip is in good shape. This is the one I always
used.
The wireless card is a Lucent WaveLAN Bronze card. It
syncs up with NCU just fine if you do that "create
network" option. Actual internet is a bit trickier,
but I've gotten it to work. There's the Wiki and other
pages to help you figure this out if you've never done
it.
The 20MB card is loaded up with all of the software
from the Newton Card Exchange Program. I already have
all syncing/internet programs installed on the
Newton's internal memory, so you won't need to mess
around with that.
Also included is an original Apple-issue plastic dummy
card. Yeah, only one, but you'll only need one if you
just leave the memory card in all the time and just
remove the Lucent card.
I have the original 9 watt power adapter, as well as
the original box for it, AND the warranty card for it
(not that it's any good any more)
Lastly, I have a Newton-sized screen protector, but
it's lost its stick. It's still useful to protect the
screen from dust when you're not using it.
The battery still holds a charge well, and charges up
very quickly. The battery meter becomes
"under-confident" when you're using the wireless card
and the pack itself is a little stubborn to come out.
The backlight isn't blinding, but still illuminates
the screen adequately.
The screen is fine, with no warps or dead spots. The
speaker and microphone work normally.
The case has a little wear on it, primarily in the
form of the very thin rubber coating having rubbed
away around the edges. It isn't "flaking" or anything
ugly like that, it's just been worn down in places. No
chips, scratches, or dents.
Here are some photos of what's included and a closer
shot of it:

I'm asking $125. Pickup can be done if you're in the
Seattle area, otherwise shipping shouldn't be more
than 10 bucks within the US.
