[NTLK] Request for friend (Was: Re: Bulk Newton auctions)

I have a request that the talk about bulk sales of Newtons has spawned in
my brain.

I have a Polish friend to whom I sold my 130 when I upgraded. Well, he has
been bitten permanently (it would seem) by the 130 Sleeping Sickness, and
his Newton no longer powers up.

He is not rich, and really cannot afford at the moment to buy a new Newton,
and I feel partially responsible, having sold him the Newton only a few
months ago. Is there anybody on this list that might be able to help me with
some form of cheap Newton therapy? I have in mind a few things:

1. A 130 with a broken screen, with which we can swap the guts (probably the
best option)
2. A 120 that you no longer want.
3. A 2100 that works, but maybe the backlight doesn't, or
4. A couple or three broken 2100s that one could use to build a
Frankenstein's monster out of. (I lean toward the 2k series for this option,
because these seem to be most common right now.)

Anybody want to help me help my friend? TIA
