Hey,

I recently came across a cache of these Mailstations that had damaged LCD's. They were as close to the source as you can get before you hop the pond to Asia & manufacturing.

http://www.hevanet.com/gillesp/vtech.html

I thought they could be of use to some of the more technically inclined, I only grabbed a few but there are many more there which I could get based upon feedback here. I do have lots of power supplies for the mailstations if any one needs them.

I got these d-diving. In the dumpster there was a mix and match of older display models (non-functioning) workable accessories (headsets, cases), and other odd items. So you can judge their fitness as you may. My experience is that many companies destroy certain models deliberately. All of the mailstations I saw had ONLY the lcd busted.

If anyone is in need let me know I'll probably pick up the remaining tonight either way.

02U2,

They were pretty cheap on the inside, just figuring if anybody wanted some of the parts it could be nice for them. But at <$30 new why ship junk.

I haven't finished taking them apart but they had some display vTech Helio pda's that looked like they might have the guts of the pda just not the LCD. Could be fun, there's 8MB there if all's good.
